Statue of Sekhmet
The Statue of Sekhmet currently housed in the Gallery of Ancient Egypt at the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) is a life-sized sculpture of one of the oldest known Egyptian deities.〔 Royal Ontario Museum. ("ROM Images" ), ''Royal Ontario Museum''. Retrieved on March 3, 2013.〕 Her name is derived from the Egyptian word “sekhem” (which means “power” or “might”) and is often translated as the “Powerful One”.〔 ("Gods of Ancient Egypt: Sekhmet" ). Retrieved on March 8, 2013.〕 Depicted as a woman with the head of a lioness - sometimes with the addition of a sun disc and the uraeus serpent atop her head - Sekhmet is the ancient Egyptian goddess of war who was believed to be a protector of Ma’at (balance or justice) and of the Egyptian people.〔 El Adl, Omar. ("Sekhmet’s bits: Forgotten statue uncovered" ), ''Daily News Egypt'', January 17, 2013.〕 She was also associated with healing and medicine, and her priests were known for being trained doctors and surgeons of remarkable calibre.〔〔 ("Sekhmet, Ancient Egyptian Sun Goddess" ). Retrieved on March 10, 2013.〕
The acquisition of this piece of Egyptian art was made possible by the support of the Louise Hawley Stone Charitable Trust, and is now one of the museum’s iconic objects.〔 The statue dates back to the 18th dynasty (New Kingdom) circa 1360 BCE, during the reign of King Tutankhamun’s grandfather, Amenhotep III, and is thought to have originated from the Temple of Mut at Karnak, Egypt.〔 The Temple of Mut is perhaps best known for its many statues of Sekhmet, which number in the hundreds.〔 ("Brooklyn Museum: Features: Mut Precinct" ). Retrieved on March 8, 2013.〕 Sekhmet is usually depicted with a lotus flower (symbolising Upper Egypt, the sun, creation, and rebirth) in her right hand, and an ankh (also known as the key of life, which symbolises eternal life) in her left.〔〔 ("Egyptian Symbols and Definitions" ). Retrieved on March 8, 2013.〕 The statue is made of carved and polished granite and depicts the goddess in a seated position holding only an ankh in her left hand, and stands at a height of about 6 feet (184 cm).〔
The Statue of Sekhmet can be found on Level 3 of the ROM in the Galleries of Africa: Egypt, where close to 2,000 objects from the ROM’s Egyptian collection are showcased. The ROM’s Egyptian collection comprises approximately 25,000 artefacts.〔 ("Galleries of Africa: Egypt | Level 3 | Royal Ontario Museum" ). Retrieved on March 3, 2013.〕
