Descripción : Egypt, Late Dynastic Period, 26th to 31st Dynasty, ca. 664 to 332 BCE. A lovely mold-formed bronze statuette depicting Khnum, the ram-headed creator god who ancient Egyptians believed to be the source of the Nile River. Khnum, as a creator god, was thought to have molded the first human bodies and other deities from the rich silt and clay along the banks of the Nile. The deity stands in a striding pose atop an integral rectangular plinth, wears a striated skirt, and holds both arms tightly at his sides. His zoomorphic head features an elongated snout with delineated nostrils, almond eyes, projecting ears, and a pair of curling horns. He wears a tripartite wig which is draped across his shoulders and a conical Atef crown flanked with flared ostrich feathers. A well-modeled example covered in lustrous layers of green and russet patina. Custom lucite display stand included. Size: 0.625 W x 3.8 H (1.6 cm x 9.7 cm), 4.25 H (10.8 cm) on included custom stand.
