Premium Sekhmet Lion Deity Figurine
The ancient Egyptian gods were as rich and diverse as the culture itself. One of the most prominent deities was Sekhmet, the warrior goddess, who was believed to have protected the pharaohs and led them in battle. Sekhmet was also considered a solar deity and was often depicted with a solar disk on her head.
The priestesses of Sekhmet performed a ritual to her every day, and these rituals had to be done before a different statue each time. This led to a high quantity of Sekhmet statues, with one temple estimated to have had 700 such figurines.
This particular Sekhmet sculpture is a high-quality and exclusive piece, created by Design Toscano. It is hand-cast using real crushed stone bonded with durable designer resin, then hand-painted in faux gold and ebony tones, and finally topped with color details that are accurate to the Egyptian palette.
Exclusive to the Design Toscano brand, this museum-quality, collectable Sekhmet sculpture is a great addition to any Egyptophile's collection and makes a wonderful gift. The figurine measures 2"W x 3"D x 8.5"H and weighs 1 lb.
In summary, the ancient Egyptian gods were a diverse and integral part of the culture, with Sekhmet, the warrior goddess, being one of the most prominent. The proliferation of Sekhmet statues in temples is a testament to the importance of this deity, and the Design Toscano Sekhmet sculpture is a high-quality, exclusive piece that captures the essence of this powerful goddess.
