EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Statue of the lion-headed goddess Sekhmet, a true masterpiece from the Temple of Mut in Karnak during the New Kingdom era. Created between 1391-1353 BC by skilled artisans of the Egyptian 18th Dynasty, this diorite sculpture stands at an impressive height of 230 cm and is now housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. The lioness-headed goddess Sekhmet exudes power and strength as she sits majestically on her throne. Adorned with intricate hieroglyphics, this statue symbolizes her role as the fierce and formidable deity of war. Her presence commands respect and awe, embodying both protection and destruction. Believed to have been commissioned during Amenophis III's reign, this artwork serves as a testament to ancient Egypt's rich cultural heritage. The craftsmanship displayed here is remarkable; every detail meticulously carved into stone reflects the mastery of these ancient artists. As we gaze upon this image captured by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back thousands of years to a time when gods and goddesses were worshipped fervently. This photograph not only preserves history but also allows us to appreciate the artistry that has endured through centuries.
