Description
**Originally Listed At $200**

Egypt, Third Intermediate to Late Dynastic Period, 21st to 31st Dynasty, ca. 1069 to 332 BCE. A standing green-glazed faience figural amulet of Sekhmet, the lioness-headed goddess of strength and warfare. Depicted in a striding pose atop an integral plinth, her arms rigidly at her sides while a long flowing robe covers her upper torso and legs. Sekhmet wears a traditional tripartite wig on her head and a pleated kilt around her waist. A small perforation allowed this figurine to be worn on a necklace or bracelet as an amulet. A wonderful example of one of the oldest deities in Egyptian mythos. Custom wooden display stand included. Size: 1.9" H (4.8 cm); 2.625" H (6.7 cm) on included custom stand.
