2365 Sebiumeker ENT_MER_SEBIUMEKER patron_of Fertility ENT_FERTILITY medium Sebiumeker's role as a creator/progenitor deity at Musawwarat es-Sufra places him in the domain of fertility and generation. His human form (as opposed to Apedemak's lion head) and his depiction in scenes of divine procreation suggest fertility patronage. Confidence medium: the creator deity attribution is inferred from iconographic context rather than directly inscribed in surviving texts. Török (1997) p. 483.
