History Egyptian Netjer-Ankh Tut Tomb Artifact Sculpture Statue 12" www.Neo-Mfg.com Museum Replica
Size 12" tall x 11.5" long x 4" wide
A gilded wooded cobra called netjer-ankh ("living god") was found in the tomb of Tutankhamon
It is representative of the cobra's associations with the afterlife. In funerary works, the cobra is often depicted spitting fire. Two cobras doing just that were said to guard the gates of every "hour" of the underworld. During the Late Period, uraei were also shown towing the barque of the sun in funerary papyri. In all of these examples, the cobra's protective nature is clearly demonstrated.
The cobra was also representative of various deities such as Neith, Ma'at, and Re.
