Yes . There are numerous beautiful similies in RV. Here is one.
आध्रेण चित् तद्वेकं चकार सिंह्यम् चित् पेत्वेना जघान |
अवस्रक्तीर्वेश्यावृश्चदिन्द्र: प्रायच्छद्विश्वा भोजना सु-दासे // RV_7,18.17 //
E'en with the weak he wrought this matchless exploit: e'en with a goat he did to death a lion.
He pared the pillar's angles with a needle. Thus to Sudas Indra gave all provisions.


On reading this one is reminded of Bharathi’s verses in Panchali Sapatham.
நரி வகுத்த வலையினில் தெரிந்து சிங்கம்
நழுவி விழும் சிற்றெறும்பால் யானை சாகும்
வரிமிகுத்த உடற்புலியைப் புழுவும் கொல்லும்
