Sekhmet the powerful


This is one powerful sculpture isn't it? It has me writing a 5 page analysis paper about it when I don't know the first thing about Diorite rock or its meanings. This goddess has a powerful myth to coincide with everything I am learning about her. There were over 700 statues of her seated and standing each with a ritual done infront of it. A different ritual was performed infront of a different one, twice a day, everyday, all year long. crazy eh?
