The
Uraeus is the serpent emblem found in Egyptian portrayals of Royalty and
Deity. It is a symbol of divine authority, representing the Goddess Wedjat
as the all seeing eye of Ra, who was believed to protect the Pharoahs
by spitting fire, and the emblem of the Lower Kingdom of Egypt. According
to legend, the Cobra was given to the pharoahs as a sign of kingship by
the God Geb.
