Sphinx hijinks!

I finished this sextuplet of Sphinxes that I obtained from Acheson Creations earlier this year. 

We are all familiar with the Great Sphinx at Giza, but they were common symbols through the history of Ancient Egypt; notably the 1.5 mile long road connecting Luxor and Karnak, "The Avenuie of the Sphinxes, estimated to have had over 900 of the staues!

The Sphinxes will be appearing on the table at my Egypt vs Sea Peoples game at Historicon. I am often amazed how few people now days are familiar with the famous "Riddle of the Sphinx"... even if that is more Greek in origin!
