Sobek — Guardian of Abundance and the Nile

From the esteemed Egyptian Gods of Prosperity series, Sobek is rendered as a sculptural tribute to the crocodile-headed deity, revered in ancient Egypt as a protector of the Nile’s life-giving waters and a bringer of abundance.

This figure exemplifies the harmonious convergence of ancient Egyptian symbolism and the refined ceramic mastery of Kōbeigama, a kiln celebrated for multi-generational craftsmanship and recognized as a Japanese cultural treasure.
