She was associated with the lower cataracts (near Aswan) and probably originated in Nubia or Sudan. Specifically, she was associated with Setet Island (Sehel island) and Abu (Elephantine) 1st nome of Upper Egypt, and was goddess of everything south of the Egyptian border. She was widely worshipped in Nubia, and given the title "Mistress of Nubia". In southern Nubia, Khnum merged with the ram-headed Amun, so Anuket and Satet (Satis) in some places also appear as wives of Amun.
One of the Goddess of Ta-Seti aka the 1st nome,see that's why I asked you to label them for futher reference whenever possible http://www.ancientegyptonline.co.uk/anuket.html Like this one also

Nice images. Most presented are from the Middle and New Kingdom. Any more art from the Old Kingdom? It would be nice if some sarcophagi could also be presented.

I already posted many from the Old Kingdom and a few pre-dynastic era but they are rarer in the world of Ancient Kemet history (Egyptology) in general. We must take into account the numerous dynasties that followed them, including themselves or foreign occupations like the Hyksos, Libyans, Asians, Persians, Assyrians, Romans, Greeks, Persians, Muslim Arabs, British, individual grave-robbers and modern archeologists who were often keen to destroy, rob, modify past history to fit their own or out of frustration. For example, the Assyrians destroyed many 25th Dynasty (their enemy) or earlier artifacts during the occupation of Ancient Egypt as they did elsewhere in western Asia when they conquered people. It was a way for them to assert their power. Considering the time period very far in the past, we can consider ourselves lucky to have so many vestiges of this great past.

Taken over and recut by a later king (re-cutting phenomena in Ancient Kemet)
Royal statues in Egypt were sometimes usurped (taken over) by later rulers. The normal procedure was simply to re-carve their name over the old one, but in some cases the physical features were also altered. Ramesses II (1279-1213 BC) seems to have altered a number of statues of Amenhotep III in this way, presumably because he wished to represent his ideal image in a certain form. In this statue, Ramesses seems to have concentrated on changing the characteristic thick lips of the older statuary to thinner ones. In other cases he took to reducing the plump stomach areas of Amenhotep's statues to make them closer to his ideal of the physical shape of the king.
The statue wears the double crown of Upper and Lower Egypt. (Text from British Museum)
