About the Item

This impressive pair of reclaimed block statues are carved from solid black and gold marble. Block statues emerged in Ancient Egypt and used in temples, their subject seated on the ground with knees drawn up to the chest (resulting in a block-like form). The block statues sit upon solid marble plinths with square motifs to the base. The simple 'block' shape provided ample surface area for inscriptions of offerings and invocations, just as hieroglyphics are seen on block statues in museums, these too have carvings on the aprons of the figures. The marble has an extremely smooth and tactile surface. The formidable size coupled with the intricate carvings and attractive form provides an interesting feature piece for an interior or exterior space.

Ancient Egyptian Monumental Temple Sphinxes
Located in London, GB
A pair of monumental limestone sphinxes of Pharaoh Nectanebo I, from the processional avenue of the Serapeum of Memphis, 30th Dynasty, circa 379 - 360 BC. The sphinxes of the Serapeum have captivated travellers since Roman times. However, despite their significance, they are conspicuously absent from the collections of most major museums. Indeed, their existence in private hands is so improbable, and their imitations so numerous, that the present sphinxes were assumed to be modern copies throughout their recent ownership history. Finally recognised and conserved after an extraordinary chance discovery at a garden furniture sale...
