𝐃𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧: Height: 13 CM 𝐇𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲: Sekhmet is an ancient Egyptian goddess who was highly revered and worshipped primarily during the New Kingdom period, around the 16th century BCE to the 11th century BCE. She is often depicted as a lioness-headed woman or as a full lioness. Her name, which means "The Powerful One," reflects her fierce and powerful nature. Sekhmet was considered a goddess of war, destruction, and healing. She was believed to possess immense strength and was associated with the scorching heat of the sun. She was often called upon to protect the pharaoh and the Egyptian people in times of conflict, using her ferocity and aggressive nature to ward off enemies. However, Sekhmet was also associated with healing and medicine. She was believed to have the power to cure illnesses and epidemics. Temples dedicated to her were important centers for medical treatment, and priests and priestesses would invoke her to aid in the healing process. One of the most famous myths involving Sekhmet is the "Destruction of Mankind" myth. According to the story, Ra, the sun god, became angry with humanity for their disobedience and disrespect. He sent Sekhmet to earth to punish them, and she went on a rampage, slaughtering humans indiscriminately. To stop her, Ra tricked her by turning the Nile River into red-colored beer. Sekhmet, mistaking it for blood, drank it and became intoxicated, eventually returning to her docile form as the goddess Hathor. Sekhmet's cult was widespread throughout ancient Egypt, and she was venerated by both royalty and common people. She was often depicted in temples and tombs, and her statues were believed to provide protection and ward off evil spirits. Her worship declined after the New Kingdom period, but her image and symbolism continued to be used in Egyptian art and religious practices. Today, Sekhmet is occasionally invoked by modern practitioners of Egyptian-based Neopaganism and other eclectic spiritual traditions. She is revered for her strength, healing abilities, and as a symbol of female power and assertiveness. 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐩 𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐲: *Please ask for a live photo of your product before shipping to see it displayed in our Museum. *Keep a close eye on your inbox for shipping updates and tracking information. *Providing a valid phone number is mandatory for shipping purposes, especially for international orders from the heart of Egypt. *If you encounter any issues or concerns regarding your order, please don't hesitate to contact us.
