This is an elegant and unique, Egyptian Sphinx rhinestone and sterling silver brooch. Sphinxes are mythical creatures with human heads and bodies of lions and are often portrayed as the guardians of entrances to royal tombs and religious temples. In Greek mythology, the sphinx is a malevolent and merciless female and those who cannot answer her riddles are killed and eaten by her. In Egyptian mythology, the sphinx is an androsphinx, a benevolent but ferocious male with magical powers and a ferocious roar.

In this wonderful brooch, a person dressed in white kneels before the blue and green enameled sphinx with a simple token, perhaps as a petition for permission to enter. This one-of-a-kind brooch has a natural, undisturbed patina on the sterling silver, shows few signs of wear and aging which includes a few missing rhinestones that will probably need to be replaced by a reputable jeweler of your choosing. This attractive and exceptional brooch will be an eye-catcher when worn on your favorite outfit!
