Mechanical sphinx guarding a firelit temple entrance at night

A deceitful, mechanical Sphinx from the front. The body of the Sphinx is assembled from gears of various sizes that fit perfectly together. Between the front paws is the entrance to a magnificent temple. The entrance is illuminated by fire bowls. In some places, warm light shines through the body of the Sphinx. Nighttime photograph, in the background a dark silhouette of a pyramid is visible, warm lighting effects.
