Wadjet and Nekhbet
Share
These are my portrayals of the ancient Egyptian goddesses Wadjet and Nekhbet. Wadjet, the cobra goddess, was the symbolic protector of Lower Egypt (that is, northern Egypt, or the area encompassing the Nile Delta) whereas the vulture goddess Nekhbet was the protector of Upper (southern) Egypt. Together, their heads frequently adorned the pharaohs’ crowns.
