Own a Rare Piece of Ancient Egyptian History

This authentic ancient Egyptian mummified juvenile crocodile is a captivating and exceedingly rare specimen, dating from the Late Period to the Early Roman Period (circa 664 BC – 100 AD) — over 2,000 years old. Revered as a sacred representation of Sobek, the crocodile god of fertility, protection, and the life-giving power of the Nile, this artifact embodies Egypt’s deep spiritual reverence for the natural world.

Remarkable Preservation & Historical Significance

This small yet powerful mummified crocodile measures approximately 11.5 inches in length and retains its original votive form, carefully bound in layers of aged linen wrappings. Despite its ancient origins, the specimen remains remarkably well preserved, providing rare insight into Egyptian animal mummification rituals.

  • Intact Linen Wrappings: The crocodile’s body is tightly encased in linen strips, showing areas of darkened tonality and minor fraying consistent with antiquity.

  • Ritual Mummification: The even, deliberate wrapping style reflects professional embalming craftsmanship used for offerings to Sobek, particularly in temple regions such as Kom Ombo and Fayum.

  • Symbolic Offering: Dedicated as a votive gift, this specimen served as an appeal for divine favor or gratitude toward Sobek’s protective strength.

  • Archaeological Insight: Such mummies were often placed in sacred caches or temple crypts, illustrating the intertwined relationship between faith, nature, and preservation in ancient Egypt.

Museum-Quality Artifact

This artifact’s compact form and striking presence make it ideal for both private and institutional exhibition.

  • Certified Authenticity: Includes full certificate of authenticity issued by Relic & Rarity Gallery, supported by comparative analysis with examples held in the Cairo Museum and the British Museum.

  • Collector Presentation: The piece is professionally stabilized for long-term preservation and display under controlled conditions.
