Statuette of Horus as a Falcon
Hollow cast copper alloy statuette of Horus as a falcon wearing an incised broad collar and the Double Crown fronted by a uraeus and a projecting coil , the closed wings crossing over the tail feathers, the feathers finely incised, the well-modelled head with lidded round eyes, a hooked beak and detailed facial markings.
With square plugged hole under tail which presumably provided opening for insertion of a now-missing mummy of a bird. Preservation good, but some detail lost by corrosion. Feet have tenons for insertion into a now missing pedestal.
Late Period, 26th Dynasty, ca. 664-525 BC. Now in the World Museum, National Museums Liverpool. M 11629
