Sekhmet statue

3D Model

Pharaoh Amenhotep III ordered that up to 730 images of the goddess Sekhmet be created and installed in his mortuary temple to beseech her healing help for his illnesses. The images were later moved to Karnak, and this is presumed to be one of them. In her right hand Sekhmet holds an ankh; in the left, a lotus.

Date 1391-1353 BCE
