Statue of God Nefertem

Large silver statues are very rare in ancient Egypt. This may have been a figure from a temple of Nefertem. The god of perfume, Nefertem, was also a god of healing who was said to have eased the suffering of the aging sun god Ra with a bouquet of sacred lotus.

Late Period, 26th Dynasty, ca. 664-525 BC. Now in the Saint Louis Art Museum. 223:1924
