This exquisite candlestick features the Sphinx, a legendary creature from Greek mythology known for its riddles and deadly embrace. Depicted with the body of a lion and the head of a woman, the sphinx is captured in detail in this bronze sculpture. Its golden bronze skin and long braided hair add to its allure and the finish of the dark brown and gold patina gives the piece a timeless quality. As a head originally Greek of the Sphinx, this sculpture is created using the ancient lost-wax casting method, which was first developed in Greece over 2500 years ago. The name "Sphinx" comes from the Greek word "sphiggo," meaning "to strangle," referring to the Sphinx's reputation for killing those who could not solve its riddles.
This handcrafted candlestick rests on a unique pedestal, with the body of the Sphinx forming the feet of the base.
