Behemoth Statue
In early christianity, Behemoth is symbolized as a great earth-beast which would be a power uncontrollable, much like Behemoth's sea counterpart Leviathan. Behemoth is shown here in classic 'Dictionare Infernal' style - guiding demons to great feasts, the mighty war-beast with great and terrible tusks used in war. One may consider is Behemoth derived from the ancient coin symbolism (Seleukos I Nikator, the Horned Elephant as a sign of warlike victory) of the Hebraic enemy kingdom the Seleucids? Behemoth, representing slow, earthen power is a symbol of material and carnal mastery. This sculpture is made of resin with a faux wood finish. It stands 3.5 inches tall by 2.5 inches wide.
