Ancient Egyptian artifacts in the Vatican Museum
The statues are the Godess Sekhmet - a sun godess normally represented as a woman with lion's head, both staues have a sun disc on the head, the standing statue holds a sceptre (the symbol of northern or Lower Egypt) She was seen as the protector of the pharaohs.

Youd think they thought of the egyptains as "heathens" or "savages" for the gods they worshipped, but the have this stuff EVERYWHERE in the vatican. It is just plain weird. Well, unless you know WHY that is. Which most of us are learning more about every day...
