EDITORS COMMENTS
This figurine represents Horus, the ancient Egyptian deity revered as the god of the sky, the sun, and the protector of pharaohs. Dating back to the Late Period-Ptolemaic Period (664-30 BCE), this exquisite bronze sculpture showcases the fusion of Egyptian and Hellenistic influences during the Greek rule in Egypt. Horus is depicted as a falcon with outstretched wings, symbolizing his power and dominion over the sky. His eyes are inlaid with blue frit, representing the all-seeing wisdom of the god. The figurine's intricate details and fine craftsmanship reveal the skill and artistry of the ancient Egyptian artisans. The broken base of the figurine suggests that it may have been part of a larger statue or altar, possibly used in religious rituals or as a votive offering. This rare and precious artifact is now preserved at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), providing a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of ancient Egypt. The figurine's close-up view highlights the intricacy of its design, from the delicate feathers on its wings to the textured surface of its body. The patina on the bronze adds a layer of history and authenticity to this ancient work of art, making it a valuable addition to any collection or exhibition of ancient Egyptian art. Horus, as the Lord of the Two Lands, was believed to unite Upper and Lower Egypt under his protection. This figurine serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy of Egyptian mythology, art, and culture that continues to captivate and inspire us today.
