With its lion body, the Sphinx take their oriÂgins in Ancient Egypt. SphinÂxÂes are often endowed with a female head and wings, to reinÂforce fanÂtasÂtic dimenÂsion. This motif reapÂpeared in decÂoÂraÂtive arts in 1798, folÂlowÂing BonaÂparte’s trip to Egypt.
This bowl, which could be used for the preÂsenÂtaÂtion of desserts, also parÂticÂiÂpates in the decÂoÂraÂtion of your table, by offerÂing splenÂdor and wonÂderÂment to guests.
This excepÂtionÂal and emblemÂatÂic piece of OdiÂot, requires more than 115 hours of work and symÂbolÂizes the remarkÂable know-how of our goldsmiths.
