Description: Sekhmet statues are a depiction of the goddess Sekhmet showing her lioness features from head to toe. The statues feature the fierce eye of the sun god Ra and its jaw structure the goddess is known for. The goddess has violent characteristics that can cause destruction and illness. Sekhmet’s name means “who is powerful”. The follower must please the Sekhmet goddess by praying and giving offerings to her Sekhmet statue. If done correctly the Sekhmet was said to bring peace and help when sick or at war. This particular statue is most likely from the Ptolemaic period (305-30BC).
