Add this stunning piece of
Egyptian artwork to your home decor and art collection. She is a true
conversation starter due to her background!
Together
with her husband Ptah and her son Nefertem, Sekhmet made up the Memphis Triad.
Her name meant "The Mighty One".
Her
nature being that of a Goddess of War, she accompanied the King to
battle and was often described as his mother. She spread terror everywhere;
the henchmen of Seth and even the serpent Apophis succumbed to her. Sekhmet
was represented as a lioness or as a woman with lion's head. Her weapons were
arrows "with which she pierces hearts" and a fiery glow emanated from her
body. The hot desert winds were regarded as the Goddess's hot breath.
She
was connected with the fire-spitting Uraeus of the King and thereby became the
"Eye of Ra". Sekhmet was also regarded as the one "Great of Magic" whose
knowledge of sorcery gave her a place in the service of healing.
