Sorry there is no picture (yet).
Perhaps these came from a building demolished to make way for the Central Artery. Earlier than that, you would have to consider the Great Boston Fire.
These were found at the construction site on Western Ave.

Christopher M. Gordon, the chief operating officer of the Allston Development Group, closed his slideshow presentation at yesterday?s meeting with the image of one of ?about a dozen? granite lion statues that construction workers have found buried at the site of the science complex under construction on the University?s new Allston campus.
The science building?s site was formerly a construction dump area, so the lions may have once graced the tops of a building somewhere in Boston, Gordon said. The development group has not yet determined from which building the lions originally came, but Gordon said they are working with a historic research company to ascertain their origin.
In the meantime, Gordon said, the lions are being stored in a warehouse.
