Best Answer

The Goddess Tefnut (tfnt in hieroglyphs) has no specific symbol in the way that other goddesses have. She is depicted either as a woman with a lioness' head or simply as a human woman; occasionally she appears as a lion-headed snake.

The Egyptian religion included several other lion-headed goddesses, so you need to be able to read the text next to her to establish that it is Tefnut and not Sekhmet, Wadjet or one of the others.
