The Statue of Karomama, the Divine Adoratrice of Amun is a bronze statue depicting a priestess of the 22nd Dynasty of Egypt, circa 870 BCE. It was discovered in Karnak, and is now on display at the Musée du Louvre.
Jean-François Champollion acquired the statue in 1829, and misidentified the subject as Karomama II, wife and sister of Pharoh Takelot II; the Karomama depicted is in fact a daughter of Osorkon I, Karomama Meritmut.
The statue is made of bronze, with gold, solver and electrum damascening inlay. The overseer of the treasury Ahentefnakht offered it to her.[1]
