Based on the description you've provided about the stone carving of half man and half lion, the following three facts are likely true:
-
Art had exaggerated features - This is typical of mythological or symbolic representations, especially in sculptures depicting hybrid creatures.
-
Eventually made its way to the British Museum - Many ancient artifacts and artworks have been collected by the British Museum, including those from various cultures and historical periods.
-
Art had a more expressive, emotional feel - Sculptures can convey emotions and convey the significance of the subjects they represent, particularly in the context of mythological or symbolic figures.
The other options, such as "two carved niches represent sunrise and sunset" and "art had a looser feel," do not seem to fit the description of the artwork you provided.
Feel free to ask if you need further clarification!
