Ptolemaic Egyptian Terracotta - Probably Serapis

Item Details

Description

Egypt, Greco-Roman/Ptolemaic period, from Alexandria, ca. 323 to 30 BCE. This is an interesting and fairly unique terracotta figure, depicting a bearded man's face in the body of what may be a knotted phallus. Atop the man's head is a modius, a flat-topped cylindrical headdress that probably represents a grain measure, symbolizing fertility. The figure is clearly mold-made from two pieces, with fine details. Size: 2.85" W x 5.2" H (7.2 cm x 13.2 cm)

The cult of Serapis (Sarapis, Sarapa) arose during the Ptolemaic period as a syncretic god promoted by the monarchy to unite the city of Alexandria. The Library at Alexandria, for example, had an annex at the Temple of Serapis.
