The half human-half lion figure is often referred to as a "Sphinx." In mythology, particularly in ancient Egypt and Greek legend, the Sphinx is depicted as a creature with the body of a lion and the head of a human, symbolizing strength and wisdom. The most famous Sphinx is the Great Sphinx of Giza, which has the head of a pharaoh and the body of a lion.
