Apis — The Sacred Bull of Prosperity

From the distinguished Egyptian Gods of Prosperity series, Apis is rendered as a sculptural homage to the sacred bull deity, revered in ancient Egypt as a source of strength, abundance, and agricultural blessing.

This figure embodies the fusion of mythic Egyptian symbolism and the masterful ceramic tradition of Kōbeigama, a kiln celebrated for its multi-generational expertise and recognized for cultural excellence.

Artistic Pedigree & Symbolic Authority

God of Fertility and Prosperity: Depicted as a noble water buffalo, Apis symbolizes vitality, abundance, and the divine force sustaining agriculture, nourishment, and the cycles of life.
Celestial and Earthly Symbols: A radiant sun crowns Apis’ head, complemented by majestic eagle wings draping the shoulders. A wheat pendant at the chest evokes growth, harvest, and sustenance, linking the divine to the terrestrial.
Signature Blue Glaze: Kōbeigama’s iconic deep cobalt-blue glaze is applied in 4–5 meticulous layers, then kiln-fired to produce a rich, multidimensional surface that captures depth and subtle nuance.
Gold Detailing: Hand-applied gold accents enhance the figure’s regal presence, kiln-fired for enduring brilliance and refined luxury.

Every detail is handcrafted by Kōbeigama’s master artisans, ensuring perfect balance, proportion, and lasting material integrity. The piece is conceived as both a collector’s treasure and a potent talisman of prosperity.
