The Alabaster Sphinx of Memphis

This is my another photo of the Alabaster Sphinx of Memphis (a.k.a. the Sphinx of Memphis), Egypt. I took a few pictures of the Alabaster Sphinx of Memphis and this is one of them from the left side. The Alabaster Sphinx of Memphis was much smaller than the Great Sphinx of Giza. As same as another Sphinxes in Egypt, the head was like a human, but the body was like a lion. I looked closer and noticed that some parts of the Sphinx were missing after long periods of time, but the Sphinx was very beautiful especially the head and its color.
