The female sphinx was probably part of another structure, possibly the arm of a throne. It dates to the early 1st millennium. Currently in the Museum of the Oriental Institute of Chicago. The last image shows a hairpin that was found during the excavations, which is the same type as the one depicted on the headband of the sphinx.
