About 300 feet north of the corner of Peachtree Center Ave NE and John Portman Blvd, a female lion statue (of a pair of abstract lions) sitting upon the black granite base forming the north end of the stairway up to the Marguis One Tower entrance. The street address for the Marquis One Tower is 245 Peachtree Center Ave NE, Atlanta, GA 30303. This abstract female lion figure was created from roughly formed bronze shaped into a large feline/lion shape. On the tail of the lion is the sculptor's name and date created, along with the name and city of the founder used. The sculptor signed "O Strebelle 1987" in a script. The founder's name and city, De Andreis Milano, is printed following the 1987 date of the sculpture.
The lion is about 13 feet long, 5 feet high, and 6 feet across.
