Description
The Egyptian statue located behind the Duke's Greenhouse, just 3 meters from the corner, dates from around 1570 to 1304 BC. This statue, made of granite, represents a seated female figure with a lion's head and a head-dress. It is believed to depict the Goddess Sekhmet from the Temple of Mut at Karnak and is associated with the 18th dynasty. The statue was collected by the Sixth Duke of Devonshire and brought to Chatsworth in the early 19th century. The Gardens and Park surrounding it are recognized on the Gardens Register at Grade 1.
