Burma
Mid 20th century
Each approximately 26 x 26 cm

This pair of Burmese sphinxes (Manouthiha) are half-lion half-man mythical guardian creatures. They have human heads and torso and lion hindquarters. These images are commonly found guarding the four corners of a pagoda. The term Manussiha is a combination of Pali Manussa (man) and Siha (lion).
