Ancient Egyptian painted panel of the Boat of Sokaris, 1069-664 BC, Louvre Museum N3948 or AF 1673. Sokar, deity of the cimetieres of the region of Giza and Memphis, is also the patron of the craftsmen who work metal. Sokar borrows many functions from the gods Ptah and Osiris to the point of confusing with them into a god called Ptah-Sokar-Osiris. Sokar is usually represented in the form of a mummified falcon covered with a shroud, or in the form of a man with a falcon head. Sokar can also be simply evoked by the representation of his sacred boat recognizable by the head of antelope-oryx which adorns its prow. Height: 22 cm; Width: cm. Sully room 336
