@caitlinrgreen does it kind of look like he has winged hooves too, a la Hermes?
@medievalhistory yes, I thought that too!
@caitlinrgreen wow thats beautiful. The egyptians were always classical :)

@caitlinrgreen That is a very beautiful piece. I find your information very interesting too. Thank you very much for sharing.
