dịch ít thôi nha: After spending more than 90 years in the sandy dunes of Guadalupe, California, a majestic plaster Hollywood sphinx, created for the 1923 blockbuster silent film “The Ten Commandments,” is making its 21st century debut.
Researchers excavated the fragile plaster of Paris sphinx from the dunes in 2014, and let it dry for several months before art restorers used Elmer’s Glue to piece it back together. It’s now housed at the Guadalupe-Nipomo Dunes Center in Southern California, and goes on display for the public tomorrow evening (June 12).
“It’s been pretty phenomenal,” said Doug Jenzen, the executive director of the Guadalupe-Nipomo Dunes Center. “We’re putting the final touches on the exhibit right now.”
