Ram-headed Sphinx

E195-Ifn7388.jpg

Sphinx with a leonine body and a ram's head with two horns curving forwards. There are small holes for the ears, a chin beard and high feathers (of Amun?). The tail is visible on the right, carved in relief, and the lion's mane is also indicated. The details of the paws are very schematic.
