Sphinx - III
The wide eyes of the sphinx.
This sculpture was found near the Sacred Gate area in the Kerameikos where the Sacred Road which led from Athens to the sanctuary of Demeter at Eleusis started. This archaic marble sculpture was buried under the walls when the Sacred Gate was erected in the Themistoclean age.
