Revered throughout Pharaonic history as Sbk (Sobek), he was the ancient Egyptian crocodile deity of the fertile Nile waters, military prowess, and supreme pharaonic strength. Associated closely with the life-giving annual Nile inundation, Sobek was worshipped as a creator deity whose sweat formed the rivers and whose immense power protected the pharaoh in battle. In his solar manifestation (Sobek-Ra), he synthesized the fierce aquatic strength of the Nile crocodile with the transcendent solar authority of the sun god, crowned with the elaborate Hemhem or plumed solar crown flanked by divine cobras (Uraei). In this rare enthroned mummiform depiction, Sobek sits in majestic composure, his crocodile visage paired with an intricate crown and royal cartouches inscribed upon his lower wrappings. Consecrated statues of Sobek were enshrined in major cult centers—most famously at Crocodilopolis (Shedet) in the Faiyum oasis and the dual temple of Kom Ombo—to act as physical vessels (Ka statues) for his divine essence, granting virility, royal victory, and eternal protection across eternity.Hand-carved from heavy stone featuring a smooth dark basalt-to-steatite matrix with a matte-satin dark finish, highlighted by soft sandy-ochre powder patina settling into the carved grooves, hair striations, and incised hieroglyphic lines.Sobek is depicted in a formal crocodile-headed enthroned/mummiform posture supported by an integrated back pillar Features a powerful crocodile head with detailed snout, bared teeth, and almond-shaped eyes, framed by a heavy tripartite wig with ribbed front lappets. He is surmounted by an elaborate plumed solar crown (Shuti) consisting of tall double ostrich feathers, a central solar disk resting upon horizontal ram horns, and flanked by twin rearing Uraeus cobras.Sculpted in a compact, enthroned mummiform position with hands resting over his lap. The lower body forms a smooth vertical column deeply carved down the front with a vertical register of incised hieroglyphic cartouches and royal symbols filled with light ochre highlights.Supported by a solid integral back pillar that extends up to reinforce the tall crown structure, anchored upon a rounded pedestal base.This masterpiece projects an undeniable authentic feel and timeless craftsmanship. The striking contrast between the dark stone, the sandy patina highlights, the sharp tooth detail of the crocodile snout, and the intricate crown composition honors the strict iconographic canon of Pharaonic sacred art. data-start=\"152\" data-end=\"345\" style=\"font-size: medium; font-weight: 400;\">✅ Shipping & DeliveryAll orders are shipped quickly and securely from our warehouse using DHL Express international shipping with Tracking Number Every piece is professionally packed to ensure it reaches you safely.
