This is an exceptionally impressive amuletic example of the goddess Mut, who is more usually depicted in human form. She sometimes appears with the head of a lion complete with mane, which refers to her more aggressive aspects whereby she is linked with Sekhmet 'she who is powerful'. The goddess held the title 'the Great One, Mistress of Isheru'. This refers both to the temple of Mut in Karnak and to the sacred lake nearby where feline goddesses were worshipped in an attempt to calm their aggressive nature.

For another representation of Mut with leonine features see S. Schoske and D. Wildung, Gott und Götter im Alten Ägypten, Berlin, 1992, no.100.
