Apis Drawing | 60 x 45 cm | Pencil and Pastel
Discover the mystique of ancient Egypt with this captivating Apis Drawing, a 60 x 45 cm artwork crafted in pencil and pastel. Apis, the sacred bull of Memphis, revered not as a god but as a powerful fertility symbol, embodies divine protection and life. Adorned with a solar disk and uraeus on its head, Apis is intricately connected to the deities Ptah, Osiris, Min, and especially Hapi, the god of the Nile.
This drawing captures the symbolic markings that identify an Apis bull: a white crescent moon on its side, a white triangle on its head, a black lump under its tongue, and a flying vulture on its back. These sacred bulls, housed in holy stables, were once viewed as divine oracles, consulted by priests in rites of prophecy and reverence.
Bring a piece of Egyptian mythology into your space, where the story of Apis can inspire awe and appreciation for the ancient world’s sacred traditions.
