O soše
Two lions flank the ledge of Hitching Post, a thirteenth-century object in the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland. Travellers or merchants could tie horses and other animals to its central projection. It may once have stood at a caravanserai, one of the stopping places along commercial routes, among them the Silk Road. Animals and people frequently appear on objects made in Islamic lands. Their use differs from the decoration of religious settings and objects, where such figures are absent from mosques, Qur'ans and prayer carpets.
Slovy muzea
Two powerful lions appear to guard the central hitching ledge to which travelers and merchants could secure their horses and other animals, possibly at a caravanserai, predecessor of the modern motel, located along trade routes such as the Silk Road. Animals and human figures are often represented in art made in Islamic countries, but they are not portrayed on items associated with the Muslim faith—the Qur'an, mosques, and prayer rugs.
