3.semi open or as I like to say somulent
The later I think can also be broken down into opening and closing.
Further to this some have a ‘surprised’ look.
I believe that these are linked to the various different Sphinx that exist in Egypt and also whether they were first discovered from the front or rear. The later could explain the surprised nature.
Opinions most welcome
