This is a falcon head sphinx also known as the eagle-headed lion. It is a statue of a lion with a human face on its upper body and a falcon on its head. In ancient Egyptian religious beliefs, this image may have represented different deities or symbolism. The Sphinx usually symbolizes power and authority, while the eagle's head may be associated with the sky, the universe, or other mysterious aspects. Found in the temple of Ramses II in Abu Simbel, Egypt (Nubia), this is one of the pair. It is now in the British Museum in London.
