About the Item

An impressive pair of Italian 19th century Neo-Classical st. white Carrara marble statues of Egyptian Sphinxes. Each Sphinx is sculpted out of one solid piece of marble and is raised by a rectangular base. Each is poised in an elegant traditional position with wonderfully sculpted facial expressions. The sphinx has had a long history of secrecy and intrigue, being viewed by many cultures as guardians of knowledge and as speaking in riddles. The Great Sphinx of Giza is the largest single stone statue in the world standing at 65 feet in height, 260 feet in length, and 20 feet in width, and is situated on the Giza Plateau on the west bank of the Nile River.
