His name has connotations of perfection and he represents the blue lotus that rose from the waters of chaos at the beginning of time to reveal the sun god Ra. He is commonly shown as an adult male with a lotus flower on his head, but later he was seen as the son of the goddess Sekhmet and the god Ptah and as such was represented as a child seated on a lotus flower.
