There are so many of these AIII Sekhmet statues, both standing and enthroned- and all in various degrees of damage it seems. My home museum, Cleveland Museum of Art, has only a head sans solar disc. This was found in a French stableyard & was used as a mounting block so ppl could get on the horses! The stableboys cared for Her by polishing Her with bootblack. Poor mistreated Sekhmet. :( But they are all powerful in their own way, despite the damage. Thank you for this addition to my collection.
This blog was set up in 2004 to aggregate news about Egyptology and related topics from online sources on a regular basis. It was closed finally in September 2013 due to other commitments. It has been left open as an archive, but comments have been disabled.
