Hand-Carved Libyan Desert Glass Egyptian Baboon-Monkey – From an Asteroid Impact

This unique Libyan Desert Glass Egyptian Baboon-Monkey sculpture is expertly hand-carved from rare Desert Glass, formed by a powerful asteroid impact around 29 million years ago. This collectible piece reflects ancient Egyptian reverence for the baboon, often associated with the god Thoth, symbolizing wisdom and knowledge.

Libyan Desert Glass – also known as Great Sand Sea Glass – was created when an intense cosmic impact melted desert sands at the Libya-Egypt border, requiring temperatures exceeding 1600°C (2900°F). Embedded with meteorite particles, this glass holds a connection to both cosmic history and Earth’s natural wonders, embodying both ancient cultural significance and geological rarity.
