Four Sphinxes

The most famous sphinx in Livorno is still this one, which has a twin sister just in front of her.

    I like them. Full-bosomed sphinxes are a delight.

    These creatures look more scary when they are not lying down, like in your photos.

    Very interesting. I probably wouldn't notice details like this if I was just walking past. :)
