An Egyptian Chlorite Steatite Lioness Figure, Late Period, 664-332 B.C.

Item Details

Description

This exquisitely carved chlorite steatite figure epitomizes the artistic mastery of the Late Period in ancient Egypt. Depicting a recumbent lioness, the sculpture is characterized by its compact form, yet the attention to anatomical detail suggests a lifelike vitality inherent in the creature it represents. The lioness, a symbol of royal power and divine protection, was revered in Egyptian mythology and commonly associated with the goddess Sekhmet. This piece likely served as a votive offering or a protective talisman, embodying the dual nature of the lioness as both nurturing and ferocious. The choice of chlorite steatite, valued for its durability and smooth finish, further emphasizes the importance of this figurine in ritualistic practices.

Dimensions:
Length: 4 cm (1.57 inches)
Width: 2 cm (0.79 inches)

Provenance:
Discovered within the vicinity of the Temple of Karnak, early 20th century.
Previously in the private collection of L. Amun, Alexandria, acquired circa 1930.

Keywords:
Ancient Egypt, Late Period, Chlorite Steatite, Lioness Figurine, Egyptian Mythology, Sekhmet, Royal Symbol, Divine Protector, Votive Offering, Ritualistic Object, Talisman, Artistic Mastery, Anatomical Precision, Egyptian Sculpture, Archaeological Find, Karnak, Collectible, Egyptian Antiquity, Cultural Artifact, Museum Quality.
