A lovely silver Sekhmet pendant shown as the head of a lioness. The lion goddess Sekhmet was the wife of Ptah to whom she was a kind of opposite. She appeared in the form of a lion or of a woman with the head of a lion. Sekhmet, whose name means \'the powerful one\' accompanied the ruler into war and, at times, she was even called the mother of the ruler. In her furious aspect she was even superior to the followers of Set and the Apophis snake. Her weapons were the hot desert wind and arrows, which she shot into the hearts of her enemies. In this way Sekhmet also became the fire-breathing Uraeus snake and thus the eye of Ra. In her infinite fury she also spread fear and fright through diseases and plagues. If her wrath could be appeased she became full of magic; and bore the additional name Werethekay. In this characteristic she used her power for healing and also accelerated the restoration of order in the kingdom. Physicians were also called \'priests of Sekhmet\'. Sekhmet was worshipped in Memphis as the wife of Ptah and mother of their son Nefertem. After Thebes was named as the new capital she united the goddess Mut, who resided there, with the lioness as Mut-Sekhmet.
