The statue of Sekemet (Sekhmet) is an isometric statue of one of the oldest known gods in ancient Egypt, about 6 feet (184cm) high. Her name is derived from the Egyptian word "sekhem" (meaning "power" or "might"), which is often translated as "the mighty". Sekemet is often depicted as a female with a lioness head, sometimes with the addition of a sun disc and uraos serpent. She was the goddess of war in ancient Egypt and was considered the protector of the Maat (balance or justice) and the Egyptian people. This statue of Sekemet is now on display in the Ancient Egypt Gallery at the Royal Ontario Museum.
