Sekhmet Standing Large. The name of this goddess means the powerful one. She was the daughter of the sun-god Ra and the wife of Ptah. She is shown with the head of a lioness and the body of a woman suggesting her great force and power and her sometimes dangerous nature. She could both bring plagues and protect people from them. In the Age of the Pyramids Sekhmet was sometimes shown embracing the king breathing divine life into his nostrils. Each item is made from resin and coloured black with a soft polished finish.
