It is a city with a long history, located in the Levant region of the Near East, situated in the Judean Mountains between the Mediterranean Sea and the Dead Sea. It is a holy site for the three major religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, and is known as the "City of Peace". The ruins of Jerusalem, such as the Crying Wall, the Cathedral of the Holy Sepulchre, and the Dome of the Rock, are not only symbols of religious faith, but also important carriers of cultural history. It was listed as a World Cultural Heritage site by UNESCO in 1981. Not only is it the intersection of religion and history, but it is also the focus of modern politics and conflicts. Both Israel and Palestine claim this as their capital, but there are differences in the international community regarding this.

It is a historic and religiously significant mountain range in northern Israel, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. Not only is it a treasure trove of natural beauty, but it also carries rich cultural heritage and religious legends. Closely linked to the traditions of Christianity and Islam, especially in Christianity, this mountain is closely related to the story of the prophet Elijah, where he confronted the prophet Baal and accepted God's will. There are multiple religious and historical sites scattered on the mountain, including the Monastery of Deir Mohra Kagar Moro, which commemorates Saint Therese and has become an important destination for pilgrims and tourists. It is also a hot spot in archaeological exploration, with relics of ancient civilizations.

This rare and mysterious lion golden sculpture is a symbol of power and authority, carefully decorated with circular filaments and fine grains, consistent with the Islamic goldsmith tradition of later Muslim kingdoms in the Iberian Peninsula (now Spain and Portugal). Islam was introduced to Europe in 711 AD, bringing new traditions to decorative arts. Although the handle, spout, and open mouth of this lion statue conform to the form of a sea lizard, its small size may imply more symbolism than functionality. The artwork that is closest in size, style, and craftsmanship to this lion is a winged ram discovered in northwest Spain.
