This piece of art, much like the sphinx near the pyramids of Giza, this phinx is different from the normal sphinx that we know resembles a lions body, with a womans face. While this one, a lions body, a mans face, and a birds wings. This piece is made using stone and has a bas relief style used to it. http://www.louvre.fr/en/oeuvre-notices/panel-sphinxes

Hammurabi being probably one of my most favorite people in egyptian history, Is depicted as a sculpture portraying hammurabi and another unknown person. I find this particular sculpture to be beautiful, both a law to follow and a sculpture to represent.
This piece of art is made of black basalt, originally found in susa, iran. However, originally it is from Babylon, standing at 7.1 feet tall. http://tylerleavitt.wordpress.com
