WE GO BEYOND THIS WORLD FOR YOUR BUSINESS~ The Sphinx is a solar symbol~ The Sphinx consists of the body of the lion symbolizing the power, in its physical form and the head of man, symbolizing intelligence and consciousness. This pair of PHINXS are a masterpiece of artistic composition, with nothing like it on the market. The fusion of the body of the lion with the head of a man resulted in a seemingly singular natural being. One cannot help but admire this marvelous sculpture and the nicety of proportion of its head. The mastery of the sculptor is evident in his ability to preserve the exact proportion and balance of every part, (nose, eyes, ears, ...etc.), in a face of such colossal size. As a symbol of holiness and protection, the Egyptian Sphinx was commonly used as guardian statues for the tombs of pharaohs and high priests. However, the most well-known Egyptian Sphinx is the one located next to the Pyramids of Giza~     MADE OF 100% SOLID BRONZE APPROX-OVER 100yrs OLD Measurements: 4'ft Long ~                            2'ft Wide~                       2'ft 3"inches High   Weight: 185 lbs each SPHINX approximate SERIOUS OFFERS ACCEPTED.   Excellent holiday gift ~ Enrich your home or office decor Exquisite details   Possibly the most historically significant floorpiece you will ever own~ Take advantage of ...
