From the Museo Egizio record

Standing figure of Horus represented as a falcon-headed, anthropomorphic deity, striding with left leg forward. The god has the double crown on his head, the lituus is broken. He is wearing a tripartite wig. The hawk head features round eyes simply outlined, with a small, slightly protruding beak positioned between them. Behind the head is a small suspension loop. The deity holds his arms down along the body, with the hands clenched into fists. Horus wears a short, plaited kilt decorated with thin lines and a belt. The feet rest on a thin rectangular base from which a square tenon with rounded corners and surrounded by a mass of bronze projects down. The object is made in the lost-wax technique for solid casts. Dimensions: 1.9 cm x 9.5 cm x 2.9 cm. Museum location: Not on display. Image views available: 2.
