PAIR OF MARBLE SPHYNX.
Decoration -
Reference: M0087
Pair of sphinxes in travertine marble. Although this winged mythological animal with a lion's body 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 from 19th-century Europe, especially since Napoleon's campaigns on the banks of the Nile River.
