Description
Sekhmet, meaning 'she who is powerful', was an aggressive lioness-goddess associated with destruction. When complete, this statue would have shown Sekhmet with a human body and the head of a lioness. here she wears a crown made up of the solar disc and cobra. Hundreds of life-size statues of Sekhmet were erected by King Amenhotep III at his mortuary temple in Western Thebes. Some, such as this, were later moved to other locations.
