This entity is thought to be animal-like, god-like, and partially a physical beast but also a creature of the spirit world. Given its omnipotent nature, ancient Egyptians worshipped the sphinx, which they believed had special powers and could give them good fortune if it was treated properly. As for its appearance, the sphinx had the head of a man and the body of a lion. It also appeared in Greek and Asian mythologies. In ancient Egypt, sphinxes were often depicted as male figures wearing a pharaoh's headdress, called a nemes, and were considered spiritual guardians. Inspired by these old legends and myths (some of which date back to the dawn of civilization), Anderson Design Group poster artists hand-rendered a vintage-styled poster of the mysterious sphinx legend, an original illustration and retro design crafted in a fashion that’s reminiscent of the golden age of poster art, vintage art, Art Deco, and classic travel illustrations. This iconic monster design is available as a poster print (framed or unframed), canvas, metal sign, mini-canvas, or as a notecard or postcard, including with multiple size options available for prints, canvases, mini-canvases, and metal signs.
