Our collaboration with @onlyny includes this tee inspired by our Egyptian Art collection! The featured illustration is of a sphinx, an ancient Egyptian composite that combined human and animal forms. Small figurines of sphinxes were made as temple offerings or as part of the decoration of cult objects. When added to ritual objects, sphinxes such as this one served a protective role. Head to the Brooklyn Museum Shop to see the full collection. s by @alec_kugler and @catbyrnes. Sphinx of King Sheshenq, circa 945–718 B.C.E. Bronze.
