About the Item

Unique and monumental pair of hand-carved stone sphinxes crafted in Italy during the 1950s. Each fantastical creature features a human head, bat-like wings, and a dragon's body—merging mythological influences with bold artistic imagination. The sculptural detail is rich and expressive, with finely worked textures and striking proportions. One wing tip has a minor imperfection, which will be professionally restored prior to delivery and will not affect the integrity or aesthetic of the piece. These rare and dramatic sculptures are ideal for garden settings, architectural entries, or as powerful statement pieces in curated spaces. Dimensions (each): Height: 43.3 in (110 cm) Width: 27.6 in (70 cm) Depth: 35.4 in (90 cm) Condition: Very good condition. One wing will be professionally restored before delivery. Structurally solid and visually captivating.
