From the Museo Egizio record

Qen was a “god’s father of Amon of Elephantine and of Khnum, Satis and Anukis.” Elephantine is the Greek name of present-day Aswan, on the southern border of ancient Egypt. The shrine (naos) contains a female figure wearing a long dress, a high plumed headdress, a broad collar, and a was scepter. She is Anukis, goddess of the Nile flood. With the ram-headed god Khnum and the goddess Satis (also evoked in the inscriptions as protectors of the deceased) she forms the triad of Elephantine. The statue probably comes from the temple of the triad on the island of Sehel, immediately south of Elephantine. Dimensions: 33 cm x 92 cm x 48 cm. Museum location: Museum / Floor 2 / Room 05 / Base. Image views available: 6.
