Detail of Islamic mosaic on the facade of a mosque in Iran.
The original facade with an arch on either side a sphinx as a gatekeepers. The Sphinx
can see that the animal body is revealed (the tail of a serpent-headed dragon), not to be subjected, dominated by the human head is the intelligence (the bow and arrow) controlling the area. Surrounded by floral interlace contrast to the "great struggle" of man between spirit and matter.
