Objects Sphinx 2\set H30cm (арт.TM0079) The MET

The Sphinx Set of 2 appears as twin sentinels of ancient mystery, frozen in solemn grace. With lion bodies, sweeping wings, and serene female faces, these marble guardians exude stillness and symbolic authority. The fine carving reveals delicate textures on the wings and patterned manes, while their seated poses project balance and vigilance. Carved from pure white marble, each piece carries natural veining that adds individuality and historic depth.

The set draws inspiration from a marble sphinx sculpture dating to circa 580–575 B.C., from the Archaic period of Greece. Once positioned atop a grave shaft for a youth named Philinos or Thalinos, the original piece—now held at The Metropolitan Museum in New York—reflects the influence of Egyptian art on early Greek funerary monuments. The stylized forms and calm geometry are rooted in this cross-cultural fusion. This contemporary reinterpretation, handcrafted in white marble, honors those traditions while offering a refined, sculptural presence.

Perfect for classical, neo-antique, historicist, or art deco interiors, the sphinxes can frame a hallway console, a staircase, or a fireplace. Their presence invokes harmony, guardianship, and mythological resonance.
