This hand-carved Sekhmet statue is cut from solid ash wood and finished with a protective varnish — a commanding piece for Egyptian altars, esoteric collections, or sacred spaces dedicated to the fierce and healing power of the lioness goddess. Standing 7.8 inches tall and 5.9 inches wide, it captures Sekhmet in her full dual nature: destroyer and healer, protector and plague-bringer. Available in natural brown ash or a richly coloured finish.
Sekhmet (“The Mighty”) is one of the most powerful and complex deities in the ancient Egyptian pantheon — daughter of Ra, wife of Ptah, and mother of Nefertum. She is depicted as a woman with a lion’s head, her sacred colour the fierce orange of the sun at its zenith. As protector of the pharaoh, she stood alongside Uto and Nekhbet to guard the throne; in battle, her fiery breath destroyed enemies and her appearance alone could rout an army. Yet she was equally the goddess of doctors and healers — her priests were trained surgeons, and it was in her temples that Egyptian medical science developed. When Pharaoh Amenhotep III sought to stop a devastating plague, he erected 700 statues of Sekhmet to appease her. She cleanses with fire and restores with the same breath. For practitioners working with Egyptian magic, protection work, or healing ritual, Sekhmet is one of the most potent deities to invoke.
