Mamdouh Eldamaty, a former minister of antiquities and professor of Egyptology at Ain Shams University, described the statue as bearing "royal facial features." It had a "soft smile" with two dimples. It also wore a nemes on its head -- the striped cloth headdress traditionally worn by pharaohs of ancient Egypt, with a cobra-shaped end or "uraeus."

It is not uncommon for new sphinx statues to be found in Egypt. But the country's most famous sphinx, the Great Sphinx of Giza, dates back to around 2,500 BC and represents the ancient Egyptian Pharaoh Khafre.
