EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning relief depicts the Egyptian lion goddess Mehit, also known as Mehyt or Mekhyt, from the Temple of Onuris-Shu at Sebennytos during the reign of Alexander IV (316-310 BC). Mehit, represented as a woman with the head of a lion, was a deity revered in ancient Egypt for her protective role in childbirth and fertility. The relief showcases Mehit in profile, her lion head facing forward with a regal expression, her mane flowing behind her. The hieroglyphic inscriptions on either side of the relief are intricately carved, adding to the religious significance of the piece. The relief is made of granite, a common building material in ancient Egypt, and its preservation in the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek in Copenhagen, Denmark, is a testament to its historical importance. The perspective of the relief, with Mehit's body slightly recessed, adds depth and dimension to the artwork. This relief is a rare and valuable example of ancient Egyptian art and religion, providing insight into the beliefs and practices of a civilization that has captivated scholars and visitors for centuries.
