- Lot Description
Egypt, Late Dynastic to Ptolemaic Period, ca. 664 to 30 BCE. An exemplary leaded bronze statuette of Horus as a falcon wearing the Double Crown fronted by a uraeus and standing upon a plinth The details on this finial are impressive - note the feathered plumage as well as the naturalistic eyes and beak of the falcon Horus. Horace, the tutelary deity, was oftentimes depicted as a falcon-headed man donning a pschent symbolizing his reign over the entire kingdom of Upper and Lower Egypt; however, he was also represented as a the falcon itself as we see in this beautiful example. Size: 1.5" L x 0.9" W x 2" H (3.8 cm x 2.3 cm x 5.1 cm)
The falcon was traditionally associated with several Egyptian deities. In addition, the falcon was a symbol of the sky-god Horus as well as the sun-god Amun-Re and the war-god Montu, who was also a solar deity. The Double Crown on this example suggests that this falcon finial represents Horus.
