Pompeii: Temple of Isis, ceramic sphinx



Pompeii: ceramic sphinx from Temple of Isis  (Naples Mus.Arch.; photo: Athena Review)


This ceramic sphinx from the Temple of Isis is on display in the National Archaeological Museum of Naples. It probably originated from Egypt, and may have been kept at the temple as an heirloom object of much earlier date.
