He often wore a plumed headdress with a horned sun disk or the atef crown (associating him with Amon-Ra) and carried the Was sceptre (representing power) and the Ankh (representing the breath of life). Sobek was depicted as a crocodile, a mummified crocodile, or a man with the head of a crocodile. During the Twelfth and Thirteenth Dynasties, the cult of Sobek was given particular prominence and a number of rulers incorporated him in their coronation names, including the first fully attested female pharaoh – Sobekneferu. It was thought that Sobek could protect the pharaoh from dark magic. The strength and speed of the crocodile was thought to be symbolic of the power of the pharaoh, and the word “sovereign” was written with the hieroglyph of a crocodile. Sobek was also worshiped as the manifestation of Amun-Re and was often depicted wearing either the headdress of Amun or the sun disk of Ra. However, he was also associated with Set, the enemy of Osiris. He also rescued the four mummiform sons of Horus (Imsety the human headed protector of the liver, Hapy the baboon headed protector of the lungs, Duamutef the jackal headed protector of the stomach and Qebehsenuef the falcon headed protector of the intestines) by gathering them in a net when they rose from the waters in a lotus bloom. Yet, Sobek was also thought to have assisted Isis when she gave birth to Horus. Sobek was sometimes considered to be an aspect of Horus because Horus took the form of a crocodile to retrieve the parts of Osiris’ body which were lost in the Nile.
