This votive bronze statue of goddess Wadjet in her leonine form was discovered in Sais in the western Delta. Wadjet was the patroness of Lower Egypt and was traditionally paired with goddess Nekhbet of the South. She was often depicted as a cobra wearing the red crown of Lower Egypt or as a lioness. She probably acquired her leonine form because of her association with other leonine goddesses, such as Tefnut and Sekhmet. The text on the side of the throne identifies her as ‘Wadjet, Lady of Buto, Mistress of Heaven’.
