Set Enthroned
June 21, 2008
On his throne I have "Beautiful, Great Set", along with his Pentagram, inverse to symbolize "creation and change". (There is not just symbology of ancient Setians, but modern Setians as well.) The bottom of the throne base features XEPERA XEPER XEPERU: ''I Have Come Into Being, and by the Process of my Coming Into Being, the Process of Coming Into Being is Established.'' The last phrase is not complete, but it's understood that it's continuing around the base. And yes, he's carrying the fancy version of the Was scepter, the djam (tcham). It's thought the wavyness symbolizes lightning.
My inspiration was the Set enthroned Leiden statue:
