Large Selket Statue | |
|
Egyptian Museum,
Cairo Dynasty XVIII,
1347-1337 B.C.
She is one of the
four protector
goddesses who, with
gracefully
outstretched arms
protect the gilded
wooded shrine that
houses the alabaster
chest containing the
four canopic jars
which hold the royal
viscera of King
Tutankhamun. Her
responsibility is to
protect Qebehsenuef,
god guarding the
intestines. She is
usually represented
as a lady whose head
is surmounted by a
scorpion with it’s
tail raised ready to
sting. Selket has
healing powers over
venomous bites and
she was patroness of
magician-medics
dealing with
poisonous bites. She
was also known
as “lady of the
beautiful house”
referring to her
association with the
embalmer’s tent. Here
she is dressed like a
queen. The khat
headdress adorns the
head and tumbles down
over the back; a
large collar covers
the shoulders. The
pleated shawl is tied
at the waist,
partially covering
the elegant, long
pleated robe tied
with hanging sashes.
Selket turns her head
slightly to one side
as if to ward off
some danger.
