£275.00

Members' price *

  • The original falcon is made of bronze and was made sometime after 600 BC in the Delta area of Egypt. The ancient Egyptians believed that all that deities assumed animal form when on Earth and the falcon became associated with the god Horus,. It is likely that a wealthy follower of one of the many cults that worshipped Horus as a votive offering purchased this statue. The name of the donor is inscribed on the plinth as Pedibastet, son of Hor. It invokes the snake goddess Wadjet, and Horus of Buto, a city on the Nile Delta. Horus was believed to be the son of Osiris and Isis and was deified as the god of the sky, of divine kingship, and protector of the reigning pharaoh. Moulded from the original in the Department of Egyptian Antiquities, The British Museum.
