Should i leave the texture in your hands or i try to render it whit the white texture you posted above?

By all means, feel free to do it if you want (you're a lot better at it than me). You can use the white texture or the same texture as the building itself. What you think looks best...

@Alexandermb looking really good! The body is perfect! I have an annoying comment about the head though... It really looks like a lion's head (don't get me wrong, it looks badass), but it should really be a ram's head, with those curved horns (just like the civ-emblem). The Ram represents Amun, which is why you always find these statues lining the processional avenues to the Amun-temples, as well as inside the temples themselves. A pedestal would be nice too :)

The ram statue with pedestal needs to reach the current height of the Ibis statues. The ibis statues can be about 60% their current size.

@LordGood & @Alexandermb

For the Ram statues I was thinking something special. To put two of them flanking the "avenue" leading to the doorway of the Amun temple, facing each other. So instead of placed against the pylon of the temple, there would be a walkable space between the Pylon and the rams. Enough for units and siege to pass.. Basically, to apply the principle you used for the Carolingian Abbey:

Is possibru?

I don't think it would be a service to expand the footprint of the Amun temple any more. Depending on map tree distribution it will likely become difficult to place. Particularly on baobab heavy maps. Also obstruction boxes around the rams would be a particularly tedious task, best leave that to mapmakers.
