After death, these two elements needed to be reunited for the soul to survive in the afterlife, and Nehebkau was the god responsible for that union. His name itself means \"(one who) brings together Ka and Ba,\" reflecting his role as the deity who made eternal life possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eA closely related example sold at Sotheby's New York (December 15, 2016, lot 26) for $12,500. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Boots \u0026 Spade","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45585404297423,"sku":null,"price":6875.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/2775\/1887\/files\/WebsiteCatalogue.png?v=1783904030","url":"https:\/\/bootsandspade.com\/products\/bronze-statuette-of-nehebkau","provider":"Boots \u0026 Spade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
