Power of Shape
'The statue has a unique shape. It has a body of an animal and a human face. The way the body is formed says a lot of grace and power. He was a king of his peers who had symbols of generosity and power. I like it because of its shape. I am truly amazed about the reason why it was chosen to be this shape.'
