Description
The lion was an important symbol for the Egyptians. At that time, lions roamed Egypt and surrounding areas. They represented power and kingship and were associated with Ra, the sun god. They were also associated with Aker, the god who guarded the gateway to the underworld.
The Egyptians regarded the lion as a god, and the placing of the pharaoh’s head on top of a lion’s body represents that it is divine.
