If that were a bronze lion and she were holding a duster....

It looks like she is holding a lily, and using it to dominate the lion. Maybe symbolically she is using purity to dominate animal passion? Or is the lily the lion's dessert after he eats her fingers?

it looks like she is pushing lion muzzle down and rising some flower up? and at first i was thinking she is about to hit lion with that flower!^^ lolz but then it lookmore like you can't have this/that not belongs to you but up!^^/ to move it out of his reach?:)) maybe to prevent beast from ruining something fragile? or body desire to ruin purity of the soul?:)))
now im curious what lwb say?:))

@Myrrha like that comment!^^ lolz ;))

<grin> I've always seen her as holding his mouth open with one hand and beating him to death with a flower, with the other. The body-language has strength and speed in that downward thrust.

Sorta like the thread of "being nibbled to death by friendly ducks" or "being licked to death by the dog".
