Depicting the female pharaoh Hatshepsut with the body of a lion and a human head wearing a headcloth and false beard, the imposing granite statue, which displays powerful lion-like musculature, was one of at least six granite sphinxes that stood in Hatshepsut's mortuary temple at Deir el-Bahri. This reinterpretation has been crafted in granite in homage to the original.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Met","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56919707451718,"sku":"TM0083","price":3295.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/5735\/7382\/files\/1_f3f70731-3ca5-4c55-9808-09b5b5ab7378.jpg?v=1783362721","url":"https:\/\/onebirchavenue.ie\/products\/object-sphinx-of-hatshepsut-tm0083","provider":"One Birch Avenue","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
