This rare and unique Egyptian Revival sculpture, dating from the 1930s, is a superb example of artistry and symbolism. Hand-carved from wood, it depicts a majestic sphinx (a timeless emblem of strength and mystery) gracefully holding a pot adorned with the head of Horus, the revered falcon-headed god of protection and kingship.
The pot opens to reveal a white earthenware inkwell, adding both functionality and historical charm. This unexpected combination makes this piece not only a decorative treasure but also a practical relic of a bygone era.
This inkwell embodies the themes of wisdom and divine power. It is a perfect gift for those fascinated by Egyptian mythology and design, for authors, historians, and intellectuals, and for those drawn to early 20th-century Egyptomania.
