From the Museo Egizio record

Figure of a standing male god, possibly identifiable as Horus imperator. On his head is a headdress, difficult to identify due to its size. The head resembles that of a falcon. A suspension loop is located on the back. The right arm is raised, though the forearm is broken. The left arm is positioned along the body, slightly bent, with the hand seemingly gripping the hilt of a sword. The figure is clad in a lorica, with a defensive skirt composed of pteruges. The object is made in the lost-wax technique for solid casts. Dimensions: 1.2 cm x 3.2 cm x 1.2 cm. Museum location: Not on display. Image views available: 3.
