Sekhmet is Ra's destroyer and avenger, a warrior goddess. Warrior goddesses aren't all that uncommon, actually, since even Ishtar (Astarte) had a warlike aspect as well as being a love goddess. Sekhmet is a woman with the head of a lioness. She wears a wig headdress, which we've interpreted as the mane of a male lion, giving an idea of Sekhmet's ferocity. Amenhotep III was a devotee of Sekhmet, and erected about 700 statues of her in his temples (365 standing and 365 seated: one each for each day of the year). Several of these are now in the British Museum, where you might turn any corner and come face-to-face with Sekhmet.

Stuffe & Nonsense Stuffemal plush dolls and animal character figures are original soft sculpture designs, individually hand crafted in California by the Stuffe Staff. While we do have some stuffemals on hand, we usually make them on order, so delivery time for your plush doll will be two to eight weeks. Construction and material details vary depending on our design goals for the character involved and the materials on hand. The plush figures are constructed of mohair, wool, alpaca or high-quality synthetic faux fur. Clothing and costume are also hand-made by Stuffe & Nonsense; jewelry and props are from diverse sources. Stuffe & Nonsense Stuffemals often use glass eyes or small parts and are not suitable for young children.
