	Statue Of Karomama, The Divine Adoratrice Of Amun 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.

He was classically depicted as a green-skinned deity with a pharaoh's beard, partially mummy-wrapped at the legs, wearing a distinctive atef crown, and holding a symbolic crook and flail. He was one of the first to be associated with the mummy wrap. When his brother, Set cut him up into pieces after killing him, Osiris' wife Isis found all the pieces and wrapped his body up, enabling him to return to life.

The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of per ...
