About the Item

Magnificent terracotta sphinx sculpture, depicted in a reclining position with a serene expression and well-defined details on the face and legs. The piece is mounted on a rectangular, architecturally inspired marbled wooden base, giving it a monumental presence and stability. With a neoclassical aesthetic, this sculpture evokes the 19th-century European taste for the rediscovery of Ancient Egypt, ideal for sophisticated interiors or formal gardens. Its natural patina and surface wear lend authenticity and historical character.
