This image showcases two ornate vessels, possibly urns, with a classical design. Each vessel sits on a square base with decorative borders, which in turn rests on a ribbed pedestal, giving it an elevated stature. The body of the vessels features beautifully sculpted, intricate details: draped garlands, and what seems like mythological scenes or figures, in relief. Atop each vessel is a dramatic, winged mythical creature, resembling a sphinx with the head of a man and a body that appears to be that of a lion. They are posed as if perched on the lip of the urn, with wings outstretched. The creatures seem to be interacting with the top edge of the vessels, which rolls outward in a lip extending over their heads. The entire piece, including the creature, has a glossy, dark finish, possibly bronze or a similar material, giving it an elegant and sophisticated appearance. These vessels appear to be fine examples of decorative art, possibly from the late 19th or early 20th century, designed in a neo-classical style.
