Ажурная табличка со сфинксами

ca. 9th–8th century BC
Not on view
Эта табличка из слоновой кости, возможно, украшала новоассирийскую постройку Арслан-Таша в Сирии. Хотя образ возлежащего крылатого сфинкса, в данном случае в парике, с пышным воротом и цветком лотоса под передней лапой, характерен для египетского искусства, лицо сфинкса выполнено в сирийской манере. В сирийском стиле на симметричных композициях для крупных предметов мебели единичные фигуры зачастую изображены в профиль и сочленены. Так, эти два сфинкса размещены спиной к спине, образуя две отдельные сцены. Возможно, они располагались по обе стороны от деревьев вместе с не сохранившимися элементами композиции.
