From the Cleveland Museum of Art record

The falcon stands in hieroglyphic form—body erect, feet together—on a thin, oblong base with a tang beneath. The eye and beak are the only areas with incised details. Numerous such images of this important bird, an age-old symbol of Egyptian kingship, survive.
