PAIR OF MARBLE SPHYNX.
Decoration - Marble Sculptures
Reference: M0087
Pair of sphinxes in travertine marble. Although this winged mythological animal with the body of a lion and a female head is found in ancient Egyptian art, the idealization, its proportions and the lines of the sculptures relate them much more to neoclassical examples of the European 19th century, especially from the campaigns of Napoleon on the banks of the Nile River.
