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