Item Details
Description
This ancient faience statuette of Horus, measuring 18 cm by 5.5 cm by 3.5 cm (approximately 7.09 inches by 2.17 inches by 1.38 inches), is a fine example of Late Period Egyptian religious art. Horus was one of the most significant deities in the Egyptian pantheon, often associated with kingship and the sky. This figure, with its serene expression and hieroglyphs, may have served a votive or funerary function, allowing the owner to express devotion or to gain protection in the afterlife. The craftsmanship evident in the detailed carvings on the figure is typical of the high-quality artisanship of the period. For collectors and enthusiasts of ancient Egyptian artifacts, this statuette represents not only a piece of religious art but also a connection to the myths and beliefs that were integral to ancient Egyptian culture.
