Pair of Coade stone sphinxes, c.1799, flanking entrance between the flower gardens and the kitchen gardens (15400322) to the west of Tullynally Castle (15400321). Stamped 'Coade's Lithodipyra' to the base.
A fine pair of Coade stone sphinxes, which forms part of the attractive setting within the gardens of Tullynally Castle (15400321). Coade stone was a type of 'artificial stone' first created by Mrs Eleanor Coade (1733-1821), and sold commercially from 1769 to 1833. It was commonly used for decorative elements of Georgian buildings in England, particularly in the southeast, but is rare material in Ireland.
