A bronze lion head has been found off the Italian coast.
It's believed to come from a Phoenician boat that could date back more than four thousand years.
It was found by the same divers who found the famed Riace bronzes 40 years ago.
The lion's head was stuck between rocks and a piece of a ship.
The Riace bronzes are considered one of Italy's most important archaeological finds in the last 100 years.
