Large sculpture of a falcon representing ‘Horus', made in plaster with a grey bluestone patina.
Good condition, worn patina.
The sculpture of Horus in the form of a falcon is an emblematic representation of Egyptian mythology. Horus, the celestial god associated with the sky, royalty and protection, is often represented in the form of a falcon or a man with the head of a falcon, symbolising his connection with the sun and divine power.
These sculptures embody strength and vigilance, qualities attributed to the falcon. They were placed in temples or worn as amulets to invoke divine protection. The falcon is also linked to the legend of Horus triumphing over Set, symbolising the victory of order over chaos.
Today, these sculptures are major testimonies to the aesthetic and symbolic sophistication of ancient Egypt.
