Sphinx of Pharaoh Horemheb

This sandstone sphinx (late 14th c. BC) shows Horemheb, the last ruler of Egypt’s 18th Dynasty, with a lion’s body and the king’s head. It combines royal strength and divine guardianship, affirming Horemheb’s role as restorer of order after the Amarna period. The sphinx also symbolizes his duty as protector of Ma’at, the cosmic balance.
