This colossal sphinx melds the strength of a lion with the idealized beauty of Pharaoh Hatshepsut. It once graced her mortuary temple at Deir el-Bahri, a testament to her powerful reign. This piece, echoing the great sphinx of Giza, stands as a symbol of enduring Egyptian artistry and history.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHISTORIC PROVENANCE\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Object Sphinx of Hatshepsut is inspired by a colossal Egyptian sphinx (ca. 1479–1458 B.C.) at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Depicting the female pharaoh Hatshepsut with the body of a lion and a human head wearing a headcloth and false beard, the imposing granite statue, which displays powerful lion-like musculature, was one of at least six granite sphinxes that stood in Hatshepsut's mortuary temple at Deir el-Bahri. This reinterpretation has been crafted in granite in homage to the original.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/8092\/3479\/files\/TM0083.pdf?v=1764677870\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eDownload Specification Sheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eichholtz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47727213379778,"sku":"TM0083","price":4495.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0672\/8473\/0050\/files\/TM0083_0_1_1.webp?v=1780437186","url":"https:\/\/mathohome.com\/products\/egyptian-sculpture-sphinx-of-hatshepsut","provider":"Matho Home","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
