Sphinx of Giza, Egypt.
This artwork is a colossal stone sculpture depicting a reclining sphinx with the body of a lion and the head of a human. The sphinx is carved from a single piece of stone, with pronounced facial features and a headdress characteristic of ancient Egyptian art. The sculpture rests on a broad rectangular base, blending seamlessly into the surrounding desert landscape. The surface of the sphinx is weathered, showing the passage of time, while its grand scale and majestic posture convey power and mystery.
