Best Answer

Sekhmet had two symbols: red linen (she is often shown wearing a red dress because she almost killed off the humans in the myth), and the sun disk. She is seen as the daughter of Re (or Ra) the sun god. However, above her head is a sun disk with an Uranus (snake on the pharaoh's head dress) on it. She carries the Ankh, the symbol of immortality. Egyptian pharaohs and gods (and goddesses) are seen holding this in art. In the other hand she is holding the Was, the symbol of power and dominance. The top of it is a line going side ways, while the end is 'forked'. Hope this helped anyone who (or whom) may be wondering what Sekhmet's symbol is. ;)
