About this asset
A large ancient statue of the sacred Apis bull (Abis), carved from black volcanic stone and bearing a solar disk between its horns, displayed on an elevated platform inside the Greco-Roman Museum in Alexandria, Egypt. The bull god Apis was one of the most venerated deities in ancient Egyptian religion, associated with Ptah and later Osiris, and worshipped as a living incarnation of divine power. The statue is flanked by two marble busts and dramatically lit against a dark museum interior, with a small figurine visible on the floor in the foreground.
