Oude Egypte, late periode Zeer zeldzame faience Sobek-Amun Amulet - 6 cm
A very rare egyptian, dark green, faience amulet that presents a syncretism between the god Sobek and the god Amun. It presents the elongated body of a crocodile with the raised head of a ram that easily identifies with the god Amun. Very well executed with incised details, on integral base. Holed for suspension under the ram's head.
Crocodiles were dangerous animals, but Sobek, the divinity depicted in this amulet, was a benevolent water deity. The Nile issuing from his sweat made the valley productive, and as a fertility god he was linked to the myth surrounding rebirth in the afterlife. | Egypt. Late Period. 664-332 BC
The piece includes old certificate of Jean & Huguette Ramié, « Archeologie-Arts-primitifs »,Cannes.
27 June 1986.
Dimensions: 6,00 cm.
