That's a Sphinx looks nothing like one.
To Moi it looks like he has those British long Judges Wigs on. The outlook of the face ect., looks nothing like an Egyptian Sphinx. A Sphinx represents Egyptian culture be doing on British or Scottish Badges? just an observation. |

The Sphinx is a battlehonour from the Egyptian campaign when the predecessors of the Black Watch gave Napoleon's French troops a good hiding.
In 1908 the newly formed Territorial Bns of the Black Watch had badges made without the sphinx on them as they did not posess that battlehonour of the the Regular Bn as they ahd not fought in Eqypt. |
