Statue of Karomama Meritmut

Karomama is depicted in a walking pose, shaking sistrums (now missing). She was a Divine Adoratrice, a virgin and earthly spouse of the god Amun, who was worshiped at Karnak. She held the status of a queen, and is portrayed in a robe encircled by vulture wings. A tall crown once fitted into the round headdress adorned with a uraeus. Champollion was responsible for purchasing this exceptional bronze object with multiple inlays.

Bronze with gold, silver and electrum, height: 59 cm. Third Intermediate Period, 22nd Dynasty, ca. 850 BC. Now in the Louvre. N 500
