Description from the seller
➜ This is a finely hand-crafted stone statue representing Sobek, the powerful crocodile-headed god of strength, protection, and fertility in Ancient Egypt.
Sobek was revered as a divine guardian, associated with the Nile’s life-giving waters and the pharaoh’s military might.
The sculpture shows Sobek in a traditional standing pose, wearing the elaborate Atef crown, complete with detailed engravings on the back pillar and base. The stone is carved with incised lines to highlight the god’s regalia, kilt, and facial features, giving an authentic ancient-style appearance.
Such statues were often placed in temples or households as protective figures, believed to ward off danger and bring blessings of strength and good fortune.
➜ Why You’ll Love It:
• A striking representation of Sobek, one of the most powerful and protective gods in Egyptian mythology.
• Hand-crafted from stone with strong visual presence and detailed engraving.
• The tall crown and crocodile head make it a dramatic display piece for collectors.
• Perfect for anyone who admires Egyptian deities, symbolism, or unique handcrafted decor.
• A solid, timeless piece that looks impressive from every angle.
➜ Don’t Miss Out:
Add this protective Nile deity to your collection while it’s available — a standout piece that will attract strong interest from collectors.
