A limestone statue of Yuny (early Dynasty 19, ca. 1290 B.C.)—a priest of Sekhmet and the son of a famous physician—originally stood in a shrine dedicated to Yuny and his father, to which pilgrims came to pray for aid in preventing or combating illness. Yuny is shown in a kneeling position, holding the elaborately ornamented shrine of Osiris, god of regeneration.
