Sent as a question to the seller:

I am quite curious as to whether you can as a marketer of antiquites even tell the the difference bewteen Mahes or Nefertum, both male deities and Sekhmet which is decidedly a female deity. She is female, ie She has breasts and wears a long sheath dress. She usually carries the ankh and or papyrus sceptre. Women and female deities do not wear men's kilts - unless they are Hatshspesut. Where on this piece is there any inscription on this piece that denotes that it is Sekhmet?

If you have pictures of the inscription (if any) please forward them.

So, if it isn't Sekhmet.. who could it be? It does look to have little breasts.. but I guess those could be man boobs.

With the solar disk, it is probably Nefertum / Nefertem. Most likely its a fake with a $9 pricetag.

Pfft. So maybe I'm a nitpicker, but I can't muster up much respect for an "antiques" marketer who tells us Sekhmet has "Ureas" on Her head... and that we can "Bring Egyptian magical powers your way by Bidding NOW!!"

Yes, bring the magical powers of the Supreme Authority of Antiquities down your neck because if it were a REAL artifact it would most likely have beeen obtained illegally.

It doesn't seem to have a pic, when I loaded it... I seriously doubt an authentic antique would be up for sale, in perfect condition, with no minimum bid for it.
