Answer:

Bull

Step-by-step explanation:

It is one of the characteristic sculptural elements of Assyrian culture.

Babylonian winged bulls, with head of a man, bearded and large wings, were protective and vigilant spirits of the city gates and palaces. They are generally represented with five legs so that four can be seen from any point where the observer stands.
