Hand Carved Wooden Ammit Statue: Egyptian Mythology Home Decor

Hand-Carved Wooden Statue of Ammit — Ancient Egyptian “Devourer of Souls” Figurine

Description:
This unique wooden statuette represents Ammit, one of the most feared figures in Ancient Egyptian mythology, known as the “Devourer of Souls”. She is depicted as a hybrid creature, combining the head of a crocodile, the body of a lion, and the hindquarters of a hippopotamus — three of the most dangerous animals to the ancient Egyptians.

In Egyptian belief, Ammit stood beside the throne of Osiris during the weighing of the heart ritual. If the heart of the deceased was found impure, she would consume it, condemning the soul to eternal destruction.

• Width: 6.0 in / 15.4 cm

• Depth: 1.5 in / 4.0 cm

• Material: Natural wood, hand-carved and painted

• Each figurine is handmade, with unique wood grain and texture

Mythology and Symbolism:
Ammit (also known as Ammut or Amemet) played a central role in the ritual of psychostasia — the weighing of the heart in the Hall of Maat. Anubis weighed the heart against the feather of truth, and if it was heavy with sin, Ammit devoured it. Unlike other deities, she was not worshipped but feared, as she represented the annihilation of the wicked and the inevitability of divine justice.

Today, Ammit can be seen as a symbol of justice, truth, conscience, and protection from lies and corruption. She serves as a reminder of balance, honesty, and the consequences of one’s actions.

Perfect For:

• Collectors of Egyptian mythology and ancient art

• Esoteric and spiritual practices

• Altars, meditation spaces, or symbolic home decor

• A meaningful gift for those who value history, mythology, and cultural symbolism

Note:
Since each piece is handcrafted from natural wood, minor variations in texture and color make every statuette unique.
