About this 3D model

The Grade II-listed sphinxes* were recently listed on Historic England's Heritage 'At Risk' register. The mythical beasts (sphinxes from mythology feature a lion's body with a woman's head, traditionally with wings) were produced to stand on the grand terraces of the Crystal Palace when the famous structure moved from Hyde Park to Sydenham in 1852. 313 photos taken in February 2020 with a Sony a6000 and processed in Agisoft Metashape. Top of head repainted in Autodesk Mudbox due to missing photos of that area.
