Monster in My Pocket N°69 Sebek (Orange) second hand figure (Loose)

Sobek is an Egyptian god with the body of a man and the head of a crocodile. He is often associated with pharaonic power, fertility, and military prowess. Some ancient Egyptian sects believed that Sobek created order in the universe and the world when he arose from the “Dark Water” and that he was the creator of the Nile River.

Sobek was revered for his ferocity and quick movements; however, he was an unpredictable deity, as were his crocodile counterparts, He was sometimes associated with chaos.

The people of ancient Egypt worshiped Sobek in order to appease both him and crocodiles in general, and also to ensure the fertility of their people and crops. Many mummified crocodiles, of all ages and sizes, have been found in Egyptian tombs.
