Crocodile statue with hawk's head

The statue represents an unknown deity with a crocodile body and falcon head. It may be Soknopaios, a form of the falcon-headed god Sobek that literally means 'Sobek Lord of the Island'. The deity was worshipped in the Fayum between the 2nd century BC and the 3rd century AD.
