We just learned about the Trà Kiệu Pedestal from the ancient Champa kingdom.
Another famous sculpture is the Pisa Griffin, made around 1000 AD somewhere in Spain.
It is about 3 feet tall, and is the largest Islamic metal sculpture ever found.
It has carvings on it, and some holes.
Some people think the holes were used to make it into a fountain, and others think maybe the holes were to make sounds like a horn.
The sculpture is in Pisa, Italy now, and people think it was taken as a treasure from war long ago when some people from Italy battled some Islamic people in Spain.
