From the Museo Egizio record
In this endless series of Sekhmets, one notices differences between one statue and the other. This one, for example, wears two uraeus cobras on its forehead instead of one. The inscription on the front of the throne qualifies the goddess as “She who does good, who allows the Two Lands to live.” One can clearly see that the name of king Amenhotep III was erased during the Amarna period, because it contained the name of the god Amon, and subsequently restored. Dimensions: 60 cm x 221 cm x 111 cm. Museum location: Museum / Ground floor / Room 14. Image views available: 3.
