This lady is centered on top of an apartment building entrance along with two hungry-looking lions. Maybe that’s why she’s so serious-looking. A minute before taking the photo, I could have sworn I heard a lion growl. Seriously. Maybe it was just me.

Maybe she is a Western version of Sekhmet, the lion-headed Egyptian goddess of war and revenge? She might be plotting whom to kill next!
LOL! Olivia: I like that idea!

dear girl, that is not growling – it is just voices in your head. You know, there is medication for that kind of thing….:-)
ROFLOL! Shush, Maryam: Don’t tell anyone. I hate to take medication. I really do.

Actually, she looks like the Queen in the playing cards.
Hi Ming: I’m not familiar with the playing cards but I agree, she does look like a Queen.
