Domains & Iconography
Domains: protection, Thebes, Eye of Ra
Iconography: lioness‑headed, plumes
Concentrated Protection
Theban liturgies name multiple Eye goddesses to intensify warding—Mut (queenly mother), Sekhmet (heat), Bastet (tempered joy). Together they cool rage, steady rule, and guard processions.
Iconography & Legacy
Lioness faces, plumes, and royal crowns; museum fragments of hymns and aegises keep this composite prayer tangible.
