Egypt Pencil Sharpener - Sphinx/Pyramid

In a ravine to the south of Chephren's pyramid sits a creature with a human head and a lion's body. The name 'sphinx', which means 'strangler' was first given by the Greeks to a fabulous creature which had the head of a woman and the body of a lion and the wings of a bird. There is no mystery about our sphinx, however - it is a useful pencil sharpener, which measures 3-1/8" long, 1-1/2" wide and 1-7/8" tall, sits conveniently against an ancient pyramid and brings a taste of Egypt to your desk or office.
