Maahes is an Egyptian god associated with war and protection. His mythology varies but he is often considered to be a son of Bast

He had a particular center of worship in Leontopolis (Taremu) and in Bubastis (Per-Bast).

Maahes is depicted here as a man with the head of a lion. He carries a knife in each hand.

Maahes, lord of slaughter, avenger of wrongs,
opposer of evil, I praise and honor you.
