Statue of the goddess Sekhmet

1390–1353 BCE (New Kingdom)

Thebes, temple of Mut

Stone / Granodiorite

Egyptian Museum, Turin

In the columns of hieroglyphs on the front of the throne, the goddess is described as “Sekhmet (the Powerful One) of the Thrones of the Two Lands”. Under her feet are the Nine Bows, symbols of the enemies of Egypt. On the sides of the throne is carved the sema-tawy, the knotted heraldic plants of Upper and Lower Egypt representing the union of the Two Lands. (Museum info card). And the bird hieroglyph naturally caught my eye :)

Dendera, Roman period mammisi temple, exterior wall scene, detail of Trajan's kilt

Detail of relief-carved scene (depicting the emperor Trajan, the goddess Hathor, and the god Horus) from the exterior of the Roman period mammisi ("birth house") temple at Dendera.

This photo features Trajan's kilt, which is decorated with a scene showing the pharaoh (the cartouches above him have hieroglyphs spelling out the title "pharaoh" rather than a name) smiting enemies, which are also being attacked by his pet lion (right) and pet dog (or lion) (left).
