She is the goddess of cosmetics, and will be the one to tell us in what type of buildings we can place our freehold skins

Goddess of Hope, Resna, is my number one guess. The pose suggests hope. Sand slipping through fingers can be symbolic of loss of hope, which is appropriate for the Apocalypse. Resna is goddess for the Aela humans, so that part fits too.

It could be that Aelan queen too, the Lady of the Rose, but I lean slightly more towards Resna.

The goddess of time...like sand passing through an hour glass. Almost the wife of Mitra from Age of Conan - Head band looks like a Priest of Mitra headband.

Hahaha

Its the goddess of time. The sign on the head is similar to the one that is carried by the Protector's Armor.

Unfortunately, the Armor doesn't have any Lore attached to it.

But what's also in the Pack of the Protector's Armor?
A Pocket Watch

I agree with @Neurath there

(I'm going to preface what I'm about to say with this: I genuinely don't know and I've kept it that way so I don't spoil it for myself and so I can join in on fun conversations about lore without having to pretend like I don't know )

This is a really interesting guess. I love your observation on the potential symbolism of the statue's pose and static action. I would say that her face might resemble that of being at peace, or perhaps hopeful!

OOhh! You and @Neurath have an interesting opinion that she could be related to time.

The pocket watch is present in every single pack they sell

It just represents game time.

Norlan - the Goddess of Fate. I don't imagine that desert has always been a desert, and I'm curious what stood in that place when her statue was built. I imagine it's both fitting and ironic a symbol of fate resulted in such a fate.

Resna, goddess if hope

I like to picture the rabbit from Alice in Wonderland - I'm late, I'm late, for a very important date!

This is true

My guess is that this is Lyneth. The symbol on her circlet matches one of the sigils of the Vaelune. Lyneth's fame and her house, lasted a thousand years on the continent of Vandagar on Verra. The Aela would never forget her and a clan of the Vaelune might have chosen her sigil in Sanctus to honor her.

Very in-depth! If it's not Verra's goddess of time, then Ima go with this ^

Time was my first thought since it looks as though there is a roof or curtains over the top half of a sand-timer.

Well from the look at the crown i would say it has to do something with the dwrafs, since its more like dwarfen achitekture. but since se is big way bigger than dwarf its more likely human.
from the hands and how she holds them it seems she lifts up something light maybe a offering to the sky or the gods. since she is in the desert a water goddes would make sense makes sense.
the eyes are closed as she is in the mids of a preyer but if shes preying she might not be a goddes herself more a once respected prestress or beloved queen.
since the desert is home to a specific human race.

so the holy virgin of the ... religion

Not a Tulnar , happily .
Perhaps she is an ancient sand mage who blesses all intruders in her domain.

The top middle sigil right? I remember we talked about it in one of the twitch streams. I definitely see elements of the one on sand momma in that top middle sigil. They added stuff to it, like wings, but the base is similar.

The only problem with everyone's guess of the "sand momma" being Resna is that Resna is said to be the god if hope not goddess, granted this could have been changed.

I also disagree with the thought that "sand momma" is any of the other gods/goddess given how human she looks. The Orc goddess of fate Norlan shouldn't look like a Human, she should look like a Orc (or a dragon/snake). Somthing I would hate to see is that all the gods/goddess end up appearing Human.

I also strongly doubt that "sand momma" has anything to do with the Vaelune given that the divide between the races didn't hapen till after everyone went to Sanctus.

I do support the idea that "sand momma" could have somthing to do with the once great house of Lyneth. And that she has somthing to do with water, given the fact that Aela Human lore and concept seems to have a lot to do with water and trade. The desert could have also not always been a desert and at one point been anything else. Sand is also coming off of "sand momma" hands like you would see water flowing
