Nefertem
(Nefertum, Nefer-Tem, Nefer-Temu)
He
is a son of Ptah and Sakhmet
or Bastet.
Nefertem
is usually represented as a man with a cluster of lotus
flowers upon his head, but sometimes he has the head of
a lion.
In
the little faïence figures of him, which are so common,
he stands upon the back of a lion. He represents the sun-god
in the legend which made him burst forth from a lotus, for
in the pyramid of Unas the king is said: "Rise like Nefer-Temu
from the lotus (lily) to the nostrils of Ra"
and to "come forth on the horizon every day."
