Sphinx

This sphinx comprising a woman’s head with large eyes and a winged male lion’s body, a female chest and animal-like teats is an example of high-quality artistry. It is looking directly at the viewer from the front. In its current condition, its front legs and animal-like lower body are missing. Such sphinxes carved in the round can be frequently found as the crests of grave monuments in the north-western provinces of the Roman Empire.
