Description
REALLY love this pic...its almost like the goddess Bastet is coming out of the darkness to get you or something. Funny thing is I didnt intend for the lighting to turn out so good. Just lucky I guess.Related content

sorry but i'm sure it's Sekhmet. your statue is one of the Sekhmet from Amenhotep III's funeral temple, and then moved to Mut's temple at Karnak. specialists suppose there are 730 of these statues, or 365 multiplied by 2: one statue for the morning priest, another one for the evening priest, and during the whole year.
i've taken one of those in photo, too. just go to see my deviants. (it's from the Louvre Museum.)
in which museum did you take it?

Uhhh no. Thank you for faving the photo and I'm glad you enjoyed it, but you are quite wrong. Sekhmet is the goddess who is most represented as a woman with a lions head and mane. Bastet is pretty the same but rather than a lions head she is represented by the domestic cat head. Also as an added plus, I was in a museum when I took this and it stated that the statue was a representation of Bastet. Thank you.
