Sakhmet

This fragment of an amulet which comes from the excavations of Faras represents Sakhmet. Wife of Ptah and mother of Nefertem, this <A HREF="God">goddess</A> of Memphis, whose name signifies "The Mighty", was sent to earth to destroy the enemies of her father Re. Presenting herself most often under the disguise of a lioness, Sakhmet was capable of generating diseases, but also of treating them. It's for this reason that the image of the <A HREF="God">goddess</A>, who also was the patron of medicine is carried as an amulet.
