Description
This exquisite statuette represents the lion-headed goddess Sekhmet, standing an impressive 8 cm high, 2 cm wide, and 1 cm deep (approximately 3.15x0.79x0.39 inches). It is masterfully crafted from faience, a material renowned for its use in ancient Egyptian art, signifying the object's authenticity and value. The small dimensions of this piece suggest it was likely a personal amulet or a component in a larger devotional context. The precise craftsmanship illustrates the significant role of Sekhmet in the religious life of the period, embodying her as a powerful deity associated with both destruction and healing. This artifact is a testament to the sophisticated artistry of the 18th Dynasty of ancient Egypt, making it a remarkable addition to any collection of antiquities.
