➜ A finely carved limestone relief fragment depicting a recumbent sphinx, one of the most enduring and powerful symbols of Ancient Egypt. The sphinx is shown with the body of a lion and the head of a man wearing a tripartite wig, gazing forward in profile. Before the figure stand ritual objects or standards, while above its back are hieroglyphic signs, including a falcon symbol. Carved in sunken relief style, the image is both elegant and symbolic, capturing the Egyptian belief in the sphinx as a guardian of sacred spaces and protector of eternity. The back of the fragment remains rough and unfinished, showing that it was once part of a larger architectural or decorative block, likely cut from a temple wall, tomb, or monumental stele. Its time-worn edges and surface patina add authenticity and presence, making it not only an artwork but also a true connection to Egypt’s enduring legacy. ➜ Why You’ll Love It: • Guardian Symbolism – The sphinx was revered as a divine protector, combining human intelligence with leonine strength. • Hieroglyphic Inscriptions – Authentic symbols enrich the piece with historical depth and sacred meaning. • Limestone Craftsmanship – Carved in durable stone, preserving ancient artistry across millennia. • Architectural Fragment – A tangible remnant of a larger sacred structure, adding intrigue and rarity. • Collector’s Appeal – A museum-style artifact that bridges history, art, and the mystique of Ancient Egypt. ➜ Don’t Miss Out This Egyptian relief fragments featuring sphinx imagery and inscriptions are scarce on the market.
