Description

A [Lamassu](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamassu) is a gaudian god typical of the mesopotamian region, shared between the Persians, Assyrians, Babylonians and in a form even egyptions. It usually gaurds the gates of the city, or the royal palace. There are several Lamassus in very good shape in Europe but all are assyrian or babylonian. Unfortunantly the only persian one (in Persepolis, gates of all nations) is quite damaged and some details are not cleared. To make this I took an Assyrian Lamassu as a base, studied the Persian one and made the adjustments. Some major difference are: The persian one is larger, the wings are bend, crown is different, and so is the front of the Lamassu.
