From the Museo Egizio record
Standing figure of Horus represented as a falcon-headed, anthropomorphic deity, striding with the left leg forward. The figure may be identified as Horus spearing Seth with a harpoon, or alternatively, Horus binding Seth with a rope. The god wears a solar disk adorned with a uraeus on his head. Behind the solar disk is an element resembling a weapon—possibly an axe—and a broken suspension loop. The god has a tripartite wig, decorated with vertical streaks. The beak is curved. The right arm is raised, the hand formerly holding an object now missing. The left arm is bent and rests against the torso, with the hand clenched into a fist. Horus wears a shendyt-kilt. The feet rest on a base that is squared at the back and rounded at the front. The object is made in the lost-wax technique for solid casts. Dimensions: 2.8 cm x 8 cm x 3.5 cm. Museum location: Not on display. Image views available: 2.
