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
