Description

The Egyptian Statue located behind the Duke's Greenhouse, 9 meters from the corner, dates from around 1570 to 1304 BC. This statue is of Egyptian origin and was collected by the Sixth Duke of Devonshire, who brought it to Chatsworth in the early 19th century. It is made of granite and depicts a seated female figure with a lion's head, positioned on a granite seat that features inscribed hieroglyphic panels. The statue is believed to represent the Goddess Sekhmet from the Temple of Mut at Karnak, dating back to the 18th dynasty. The Gardens and Park surrounding the statue are recognized on the Gardens Register at Grade I.
