Description from the seller

➜ This striking sculpture represents Sekhmet, the powerful Ancient Egyptian lion-headed goddess associated with protection, strength, healing, and divine retribution. She is depicted seated on a block throne in a traditional formal pose, reflecting classic temple statuary from Ancient Egypt.

The figure is hand carved from solid stone, showing a naturally aged surface with visible tonal variations, light wear, and small irregularities that enhance its historical character. Sekhmet’s leonine face is clearly defined, framed by a stylised tripartite wig and solar disc, while the body follows the rigid, timeless proportions typical of Egyptian sacred sculpture.

The rear pillar and carved details reinforce its authentic sculptural presence, making it an impressive decorative and collectible piece inspired by museum examples.


➜ Why You’ll Love It:

• Iconic Sekhmet iconography with lioness head and seated throne pose

• Hand carved from natural stone with good real looking aged surface

• Clear Egyptian stylistic details including wig, solar disc, and back pillar

• Solid, well balanced proportions with strong visual presence

• Ideal for collectors, themed interiors, study collections, or display


➜ Don’t Miss Out:
Sekhmet sculptures are among the most sought-after figures in Egyptian mythology. Pieces like this rarely remain available for long—secure it now before it’s gone.
