19th-century Greek Bronze Sphinx
A solid-cast bronze sculpture depicting a mythological sphinx inspired by models of archaic Greek sculpture and votive artifacts unearthed during 19th-century excavations (similar to those housed in major collections such as the Archaeological Museum of Olympia). The hybrid creature has a feline body with lion-like paws, surmounted by broad wings. The human face is topped by a cylinder. The metal has been treated with a dark patina.
