This handcrafted wooden figurine powerfully depicts Set (also known as Seth, Sutekh, or Suty), the ancient Egyptian god of chaos, deserts, storms, disorder, and war. A complex and often controversial deity, Set played a pivotal role in the Osiris myth as his antagonist, yet he was also revered as a protector god, particularly against foreign enemies and the serpent Apophis. He embodies the wild, untamed forces of nature and the necessary disruption that can lead to new order. This meticulously carved wooden piece brings a formidable and enigmatic presence, making it a captivating addition to a personal collection, a striking decorative accent for a home, or a profound focal point on an altar.
In this portrayal, Set is represented with his unique, enigmatic head, often described as a composite creature (the "Set animal"), symbolizing his fierce, unpredictable, and untamed nature, distinct from other Egyptian deities. The intricate details capture his formidable presence, as he is adorned with traditional Egyptian attire. In his hands, he holds an ankh, the ancient Egyptian symbol of life, and a was-scepter, signifying power, dominion, and authority. This statue embodies Set’s complex nature as both a destructive force essential for balance and a powerful protector, reflecting his multifaceted role in Egyptian cosmology.
This wooden figurine is designed with a flat back and features a special loop/hook, allowing it to be easily mounted on a wall.
Dimensions:
Width: 8cm / 3.15 inches Height: 20.5cm / 8.07 inches Depth: 4cm / 1.57 inches
Hieroglyphic Inscriptions:
The side panels of this figurine feature authentic hieroglyphic inscriptions, which translate to:
Hail to you Sutekh

He with light red skin and red hair
Brother to Wsir (Osiris)
Protector of Ra from Apep
Great power at the tip of the barque
Lord of the storm
And the foreign lands beloved of Sutekh
These phrases highlight Set's key roles, epithets, and attributes in ancient Egyptian mythology.
