Musée du Louvre,
Paris. Bronze statuette of the divine worhipper Karomama who was thought to
have been the wife of King Takelot II (Hedjkheperra, ruled c.850-825 BC during the 22nd Dynasty). Originally, it would have had a crown topped by two tall feathers and the horns of two cows in the shape of a lyre and she would have held a sistra in her hands. It was brought to France, from Egypt, by Champollion in the 1829.
