    This is Sekhmet wnich translates to mean "the powerful". It is the figure of a woman with the head of a lion. Sekhmet was the bloodthirsty defender of Ra the sun god. This statue is placed due south on the Hearst property.

    ..... and probably they are not copies :)

    Gus regarding the placement I think it has to do with the house ... if it faces north it would be looking away :D:D:)
