Physical Appearance

Sekhmet had the head of a lioness, and a body of a woman. She was usually depicted with a sun disc on top of her head. Many historians argue if she was from Sudan, since lions were plentiful there. When she was seated, she usually held the ahnk of life, but when she was standing, she held a papyrus scepter, the symbol of Lower Egypt.
