She is wonderful! Are there pics of adjacent blocks that might name Her? And look at the little Sphinx in pharaoh's hands, offering to Her! Wonderful detail! Thank you for sharing Her! :)
Hi Kat. I thought that I had sent you this one along with the other feline photos I took at Christmas when I returned from Egypt. I must have missed this one! No, I'm afraid that the entire site is like a vast jigsaw puzzle. There are doubtless blocks somewhere on the site which match up with this one but it could take years to locate them! It is really endearing, isn't it?
Sekhmet (?): there are similar offering reliefs, so if the remaining blocks have vanished, the scene could be reconstructed on paper, though the pharaoh would remain anonymous. CJB
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 in August 2012, and I now use it to replicate short news posts that are updated on my Twitter account.
The posts from Twitter are copied here, in the order in which they were published on Twitter (that is, no particular order), every few days: http://twitter.com/egyptologynews
Kat Newkirk was my partner in this enterprise almost from the moment that I woke up on my 40th birthday and thought that an Egyptology news blog might be a useful facility and she still supplies me with news items for my Twitter account.
Kindest regards to all Andie andie {at} oddthing.co.uk
