The pediment relief above the southern portal of the church of Vízakna (today Ocna Sibiului, Romania, built at the beginning of the thirteenth century) depicts a tree of life between two lions.
By order of István Möller the cast was made by Pál Weszely in 1912, and it was built into the wall of the Romanesque Hall. In 1985 it was transferred to the Hungarian National Gallery.
