Based on the description of a stone carving of half man and half lion, the following three facts may apply:
-
Art had exaggerated features - Stone carvings, especially of mythical creatures, often emphasize certain characteristics, which can lead to exaggerated features.
-
Art had a looser feel - Depending on the specific style and technique used, some stone carvings can convey a sense of motion or liveliness, giving them a looser, more expressive quality.
-
Eventually made its way to the British museum - Many significant artifacts and artworks from various cultures have ended up in the British Museum, often due to historical events like colonization or archaeological discoveries.
The other options—"art had a more expressive, emotional feel" and "two carved niches represent sunrise and sunset"—might apply depending on specific context or artistic interpretation, but they cannot be confirmed without more details about the specific artwork in question.
