Unique Ancient Egyptian Antiques Sekhmet Goddess of Healing Pharaonic Egypt BC. Sekhmet is one of the oldest known Egyptian deities. Her name is derived from the Egyptian word ” Sekhem ” (which means “power” or “might”) and is often translated as the “Powerful One” or “She who is Powerful”. She is depicted as a lion-headed woman, sometimes with the addition of a sun disc on her head. Seated statues of Sekhmet show her holding the ankh of life, but when she is shown striding or standing she usually holds a sceptre formed from papyrus (the symbol of northern or Lower Egypt) suggesting that she was associated primarily with the north. Sekhmet was represented by the searing heat of the mid-day sun (in this aspect she was sometimes called ” Nesert “, the flame) and was a terrifying goddess. However, for her friends she could avert plague and cure disease. As Shown At Pictures.
