This is a picture of a Sekhmet figure that I took while I was in California for this year's Further Confusion. The Museum was very dimly lit, and flash photography was prohibited because it can damage a the artifacts that they keep there. Well I took a lot of pictures and got a few that I am really proud of. This was a pretty small figurine, but I managed to get a good shot of this statue ^_^

I was about to ask if you did them without a tripod, but that's been answered already.
kudos for having an easy hand, my own camera sometimes can't take such pictures without blur it to bits, while the next one is perfectly done. damn that crappy digital equipment. :P
nice statuette here. those ancient arts have their own charme, relly.
one of these days I'm gonna hit a natural museum some distance off. in 1934 some scientist found a cave in the vicinity of the city of Blaubeuren, germany, which was inhabited during stone and ice age (that vicinity's mountains is riddled with holes and caves etched in by carbon-sour rain water during countless millenias, and many of them were inhabited by early human societies. also, rivers and springs can vanish for miles and come up somehwere unexpected) in a layer 9 meters deep, dated some app. 30.000 years back they found a statuette of a lion man made from ivory. they pieced it together a couple years ago, after the finds were laying forgotten in some museum's cellar since then, and it looks suspiciously like a furry. :) it's not clear if it was a toy or something used in rituals, though.

if you consider germany "somewhere near" egypt, then, yes. :)
