## The Original from Memphis

The design is adapted from a solid gold pendant of the lion-headed goddess Sekhmet. The Penn Museum found it in the ancient capital of Memphis.

It dates to the 26th Dynasty, in the reign of Amasis, about 570 to 526 BC.

## Amulet for the Living and the Dead

Amulets like this were often worn by the dead. The living could also wear them for the goddess's protection.

Sekhmet was a goddess of medicine and healing, and also of war. Her lioness head shows both sides. A lioness goddess pin keeps that dual nature.

## Wearing and Display

Pin the Sekhmet pin brooch to a jacket, a scarf or a bag strap. Or slip the chain through and wear it as a pendant.

An Egyptian pin pendant suits two uses at once. See more in our [Egyptian Museum Replicas](https://www.museumize.com/collections/culture-egyptian-museum-replicas) and [Museum Jewelry Pins and Brooches](https://www.museumize.com/collections/museum-jewelry-pins-brooches). Wipe with a soft cloth.

## About Sekhmet

Sekhmet means the powerful one, and she was a daughter of the sun god Ra. Sekhmet jewelry of this kind is a small shield. The Sekhmet pin brooch carries her protection on a coat.
