Object Sphinx of Hatshepsut 60cm (арт.TM0083) The MET
The Sphinx of Hatshepsut captures the imposing beauty of divine kingship. The pink granite surface shimmers with quiet strength, accentuating the lion’s muscular form and the stylized features of the female pharaoh. The nemes headcloth, with its clean ridges, and the traditional false beard, underscore her role as a legitimate ruler in the male-dominated sphere of power. Calm and commanding, the sphinx radiates vigilance and mythic presence.
Inspired by a colossal granite sphinx from ca. 1479–1458 B.C., now preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, this sculpture once stood among at least six others at the mortuary temple of Hatshepsut in Deir el-Bahri. This rare icon merges masculine symbols of strength with feminine divinity, reflecting the unique reign of Egypt’s most renowned female pharaoh. The modern reinterpretation is hand-carved in granite, with each piece bearing natural variations in tone and veining.
Ideal for interiors in ethnic chic, art deco, eclectic, neoclassical, or gallery-style minimalism, the sphinx makes a powerful focal point in a grand foyer, study, or curated collection space.
