A large stone statue with the head of a man wearing a crown-like structure on top of his head, and the body of a lion. The statue is broken off at the chest. The head of the statue is large, with a stern expression. The crown-like structure on top of his head includes a rounded element in the back with a rounded knob on top and two other rounded elements stacked vertically on top of the head. The statue sits in the center of the image. In the background, there are people standing around the statue and to the side, a building or wall. At the bottom left of the image are three people walking towards the statue. A caption at the bottom reads "A COLOSSAL STATUE AT THE ENTRANCE TO THE TEMPLE OF LUXOR". The image is in shades of gray on a beige background.
