The Horus Statue of Nectanebo II and the Human-headed Winged Lion

The Horus statue of Nectanebo II and the lion with human wings, also known as Lamus, are two very different, but similar in composition, performance, function and style. They were created at two different points in history, but the artists thought and created two art pieces in a similar way. The Egyptian art work was the statue of the god of war, the sun, and the ruler Horus. It was created between 366 BC and 342 BC.

In the excavation of Nimru from the 19th century to the 20th century, a remarkable relief, ivory and sculpture was revealed. The statue of Ashurnasirpal II was found to be in excellent preservation state with each lion with huge wings protecting the entrance to the palace. Many inscriptions on King Ashurnasirpal II provided more details about him and his reign, it was not what other rulers in this era knew. Part of the site has also been confirmed, including the temples of Ninurta and Enlil, buildings assigned to Nabu (God of Writing and Art), and extensive fortifications. In addition, the black Obelisk of Shalmanneser III, discovered in 1846, is 6 feet tall and celebrates King's victory between 859 BC and 824 BC. The top has a shape like a tower of a temple, and it has three steps.

In art, Ramus is drawn as a mixture of wings, bulls or lions and the head of a human male. The theme of a winged animal with a human head is common in the Near East, which was recorded in the first Ebra around 3000 BC. During the reign of Tiglath-Pileser II, the first unique Lama's theme appeared in Assyria as a symbol of power. Assyrian sculpture usually faces the street and courtyard and puts a pair of famous Lamas at the entrance of the palace. They are represented on the corner as "double-sided" numbers and are highly embossed. Looking from the front, they look like they are standing, they are walking from the side. In the early version there were five legs, but it is obvious when looking at diagonally. Lumasi generally does not appear in large quantities in lowland relief plans around palace rooms.
