The ancient Egyptian Goddess Anuket (also known as Anket, Anqet, Anjet or Anukis) was a personification of the Nile as “Nourisher of the Fields”. She was also a goddess of the hunt and was worshipped as a protective deity during childbirth.
She was originally the daughter of Ra. She along with Sekhmet, Bast and Hather were called the “Eye of Ra”. These three water deities protected the Nile cataracts and the area the Egyptians believed to be the source of the Nile.
Images symbolize Anuket as a gazelle with a headdress made of tall ostrich feathers.
