Silver Egyptian Sekhmet
This aluminum, silver-colored statuette represents Sekhmet, Egyptian goddess of war and healing. The statuette is heavy in hand, cast of solid aluminum. The intricate detailing brings out the goddess's fierce gaze and majestic demeanor, symbolizing resilience, courage, and divine protection.
The original statuette is a unique and highly impressive due to the preservation of its details and of the delicate faience which typically cracks or chips over thousands of years. She carries on her head the double crown of Egypt, the Peshent, representing Upper and Lower Egypt, decorated with the royal cobra. Sekhmet depicted by her lion's head & shows her long mane divided across her shoulders with a full-length dress.
One hand is outstretched, the other closed. She sits on an openwork block throne, decorated on each side with snakes representing the stellar decans & an ank symbol is inscribed on the back. There is a loop for suspension behind her head.
