This is one of at least three lions that are part of sarcophagi at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.

The Museum placard indicates that it is Cypriot and from the 5th century BC. However, the placard only discusses the relief scenes on the sides of the sarcophagus...and not the four lions...each guarding a corner of the sarcophagus' lid.
