Following the discovery of the marble head and portions of the wings of one of the damaged Sphinxes guarding the entrance of the Amphipolis tomb many have sought to envisage the statues as they were when first created.

Now a blogger has succeeded in in creating one of the most convincing efforts to date.

Panagiotis Krouklidis on his personal Italian blog has uploaded photoshopped images depicting the Sphinxes complete with wings, heads and their (assumed) red hair.

Showing images of other ancient artifacts depicting Sphinxes, Mr Krouklidis makes a convincing case that his depictions are very close to the Sphinxes original incarnations.
