| Description |
Bronze figurine of pharaoh worshipping the Apis bull, created in Egypt about 715 to 332 BC. Found in Egypt, but the location is not clear. The Apis bull was an actual bull which was considered the living incarnation of the creator-god, Ptah. This animal was usually identified by an unusual mark (such as a triangle) on its forehead. The Apis bull was kept in the temple of Ptah at Memphis. When it died, it was buried in a lavish tomb with extensive funeral ceremonies. Then the search for a new Apis bull would begin. The pharaoh making the offering has not been identified. |
