How Did Ancient Egyptians Keep Track Of Their Cows?

With a Sekhmet-shaped cattle band, of course! Cattle brand is in the shape of the lion-headed goddess, Sekhmet, also known as “the destroyer,” “lady of life” and the one who protected truth/justice. Perhaps her head was used so the truth of the cow’s owner would be protected?

Circa 1500 - 1200 BCE. Brand is from the British Museum, statue is from the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna.
