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 tripartite wig. The forehead forms a flat surface, the head is rather rectangular, the eyes are visible, and the beak is large and protruding. A collar consisting of two horizontal lines is visible between the wig’s lappets. 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 central tab hanging down. The feet rest on a rectangular base, from which a thick rectangular tenon projects down. The object is made in the lost-wax technique for solid casts. Dimensions: 2.4 cm x 9.8 cm x 3.4 cm. Museum location: Museum / Floor 2A / Mezzanine / Cabinet 05 Metal / Shelf 04.
