Description
The goddess is represented as a sitting lioness-headed woman. She wears a long tightly fitting dress with shoulder-straps decorated with rosettes and with an ending of vertical lines along its upper edge. On the head of the goddess is a tripartite wig crowned by a sun-disk. On her neck there is a wide collar, on her wrists are bracelets. Her hands are lying on the laps, the right hand is open, in the left hand she holds an ankh-sign. She sits on a cubical throne with its lateral sides bearing the traditional compositions symbolising the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt. On the front side of the throne are placed two vertical columns of hieroglyphs - inscriptions A (at the proper left) and B (at the right). The statue is one of the extensive group that had been mounted in the temple of Mut at Luxor by Amenhotep III. It was discovered by Avraam Norov in 1835 during his travel to Egypt in 1835.
