EDITORS COMMENTS
Qebehsenuef, also known as Kebechsenuf or Kabexnuf, was an ancient Egyptian deity worshipped during the Late Period (746-332 BC). Depicted as a mummified human with the head of a falcon, Qebehsenuef was the protective deity and son of Horus, the god of the sky, sun, and kingship. The falcon head represented the god's role as a protector and guardian, particularly of the pharaoh and the mummified bodies of the deceased. This stunning wooden sculpture of Qebehsenuef, now housed in the Neues Museum in Berlin, Germany, showcases the deity's distinctive form. The polychromed wood carving displays intricate hieroglyphics and hieroglyphical inscriptions, further emphasizing the deity's divine nature. The interior of the statue is also decorated, reflecting the importance of the deity's role in the religious beliefs of ancient Egypt. Qebehsenuef was believed to protect the mummies from harm and ensure their safe journey to the afterlife. His presence was essential in the burial chambers of the pharaohs and other noblemen, where he was often depicted holding the Ankh, the symbol of life, and the scepter, symbolizing power and authority. This magnificent sculpture offers a glimpse into the rich mythology and religious practices of ancient Egypt, providing a valuable connection to the past and a testament to the enduring legacy of the civilization.
