This Sculpture of the Nile God is a faithful reproduction of the ancient statue depicting the divinity of the Nile River, venerated for its crucial role in the fertility and abundance of Ancient Egypt. Made of white marble, this sculpture shows the reclining God, surrounded by symbols that recall prosperity, such as the cornucopia.
The work is inspired by the 1st-2nd century masterpiece, now exhibited in the Braccio Nuovo of the Vatican Museums, in Rome. It represents a perfect fusion between classical art and marble details, ideal for enriching any environment with a touch of history.
The Nile God was one of the most important deities in Ancient Egypt, representing the personification of the Nile River, source of life and fertility for the Egyptian people. The river was revered for its cyclical floods, which fertilized the land, ensuring abundant crops. The deity is often depicted as a reclining man, surrounded by children representing the main tributaries of the river.

Magnifica, la statua è spettacolare ben rifinita fin nei minimi particolari. I putti che rappresentano gli affluenti sono ben fatti nella loro piccola statura, per non parlare della sfinge, del coccodrillo e della volpe del deserto e non per ultimo il Nilo. Una meraviglia.
