As the daughter of the sun god Ra, she was known as the "Eye of Ra," a warrior goddess who breathed fire against the enemies of the Pharaoh. Yet, Sekhmet was also a goddess of healing; her priests were the oldest doctors in history. She represents the duality of nature: the fierce destruction of the sun’s heat and its life-giving warmth. Other lioness deities, like Tefnut and Mehit, also symbolized maternal protection and royal authority. ​Why You’ll Love It: ​Guardian Energy: A powerful symbol of protection for your home, warding off negativity with the spirit of the "Lady of the Flame." ​Zodiac Gift: A sophisticated, historically rich gift for the Leo in your life. ​Empowering Decor: A tribute to feminine power and strength, perfect for a woman’s study, office, or meditation space. ​Timeless Style: The warm gold and ochre tones blend seamlessly with Boho, maximalist, or eclectic interior design styles. ​Add this majestic guardian to your sofa or bed and let the strength of the lioness watch over your sanctuary.
