From the Museo Egizio record
Standing figure of Horus represented as a falcon-headed, anthropomorphic deity, pouring a libation from a hes-vase. The god has a large, decorated tripartite wig. The forehead is small and triangular, the eyes are lateral and barely visible, and the beak is rather large and curved. The god pours a libation from a hes-vase which he holds up in front of his torso with both hands. Horus has his left leg advanced. The god has a shendyt-kilt with a belt and the central tab hanging down. The feet rest on a broken base. Two broken rectangular tenons project down from the feet. The object is made in the lost-wax technique for solid casts. Dimensions: 3.5 cm x 10.5 cm x 6 cm. Museum location: Museum / Floor 1 / Room 11 / Showcase 08. Image views available: 5.
