Nekhbet Egyptian Symbols Pendant Dangle Charm

Nekhbet or Nehebt, in Egyptian mythology, is the goddess of royal power. Nekhbet was the guardian of the royal family. It symbolized the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt into a single state. The image of Nekhbet goes back to the ancient ideas of the Egyptians about the sky as the wings of a kite. Since the sacred animal of the goddess Nekhbet was a kite, she was depicted as a woman with a crest on her head or as a snake-headed kite in the white crown of Upper Egypt.
