| Sandstone carving of the Atum with Uraeus cobra symbol and chin beard. "The Completed One", the creator God at Heliopolis and one of the "Nine Deities", of Lower Egypt. He embodied the setting sun and was reborn every morning as the God Kheper. He could be seen in many forms, like a cat or an eel with a royal crown. His body was considered the parts of all physical matter and he was mostly seen as a man. When he was combined with his local colleague "Re", he beamed "Atum-Re". Light earthen patina. New Kingdom, 18th Dynasty. |
