Product Description

Exclusive to Norman Lindsay Gallery

The Sphinx is our signature jewellery range featuring earrings, bracelets and pendants.

This sterling silver pendant is presented on a 45cm Figaro chain and is stylish and elegant.

Norman Lindsay was fascinated by the world of Greek mythology and his home and grounds at Faulconbridge are filled with statues of satyrs, sirens and sphinxes.

The original Greek Sphinx derived from the Oedipus legend. This half-woman, half-lion guarded the road to Thebes and ate travellers unable to answer her riddles.

Lindsay created a large cement sphinx statue in the grounds of the property in 1943 to guard the steps to the pool and subsequently became the symbol for the property.

Thanks to your support we can continue our mission to actively conserve and protect our natural, cultural, social and Indigenous heritage for future generations to enjoy.
