Uploaded photo of intricately printed sphinx at 0.05mm layer height, measuring 130mm x 156mm and meticulously painted.\r\n\r\nModeled in Sculptris using a photograph from the British Museum image gallery as reference. The ivory plaque showcases a winged Phoenician sphinx from the 9th-8th century BC, discovered at Fort Shalmaneser, Nimrud (ancient Kalhu) in northern Iraq. The openwork panel depicts a male human-headed sphinx strolling through lush flowering plants; it wears the double crown of Upper and Lower Egypt, and an apron hangs from its chest with a prominent uraeus; likely crafted by skilled Phoenician artisans.
