This ancient Egyptian statuette represents Nefertum, the god of the lotus blossom, who emerges from the primeval waters at the creation of the world. Standing 9 cm tall (approximately 3.54 inches), and measuring 2.5 cm wide by 2 cm deep (about 0.98 x 0.79 inches), this artifact is delicately carved from steatite, a material favored for its durability and the fine detail it allowed artisans to achieve. The statuette's compact dimensions and the distinct iconography characteristic of the 1000-800 BC era make it a rare and highly collectible piece. The god's youthful visage and the hieroglyphs inscribed upon the pedestal he stands upon are well-preserved, offering a fascinating glimpse into the religious life of ancient Egypt. This piece promises to be a centerpiece of any collection, encapsulating the rich mythology and artistic skill of an ancient civilization.
