Sphinx head of Amenophis II.

Product information "Sphinx head of Amenophis II."

The king's head, broken from a sphinx, can be attributed to Amenophis II on the basis of stylistic criteria. Surrounded by the striped Nemes headscarf with forehead urn, the youthful features of this king, who sat on the pharaoh's throne for almost 40 years, are fascinating. Original: Musée du Louvre, Paris. Egypt, New Kingdom, 18th Dynasty, around 1390 BC, stone. Polymer ars mundi museum replica moulded by hand, height with marble base 32 cm.
