-Pocket God / Goddess Renenutet-

According to the Pyramid Texts, Renenutet was the goddess of plenty, and good fortune. Snakes were often seen in the fields around harvest time, hunting the rodents who would threaten the crop. As a result, Renenutet was considered to protect the harvest and given the epithets “Goddess of the Double Granary”, the “Lady of Fertile Fields” and the “Lady of Granaries”. Amenemhet III and Amenemhet IV dedicated a temple to Renenutet, Sobek and Horus at Dja (known to the Greeks as Narmouthis or Harmounthis and now called Medinet Madi) which was expanded during the Ptolemaic Period. In this temple an annual harvest festival was held in her honour during which a quantity of the best quality produce was dedicated to her, and throughout Egypt, shrines to her were built in areas where wine was brewed. She was also linked to the coming of the inundation.

I was so honored to get this commission. And the wonderful buyer actually sent me the sketch upon which to sculpt her off of. Not only was it lovely art on its own, but it resulted in an even more gorgeous statue to her. She’s one of the larger pieces I do in this style at 6 inches tall. 

I will make the Nile swell for you,

without there being a year of lack and exhaustion in the whole land,

so the plants will flourish, 

bending under their fruit.

The land of Egypt is beginning to stir again,

the shores are shining wonderfully,

and wealth and well-being dwell with them,

as it had been before.
