On offer here for the first time is a beautiful, mounted Horus stele in raised / bas relief. Made of a limestone and quartzite composition stone, this fine replica has an aged ochre patina.
The horizontal fissure in the design that seems to divide the piece in two is not a real crack but does capture the imprint of the actual repaired antiquity as it exists today which increases the authentic look of the piece. You will need to explain this to the first time viewer as they may even ask if it is real.
The design features Horus the Sky god in a familiar pose atop a shrine wearing the double crown of upper and lower Egypt. The crown is a symbol of unification and the god was the protector of the Pharaoh who maintained the order of a unified and prosperous Egypt.
Background information - Horus was one of the most ancient of Egyptian gods being the progeny of an immaculate conception between the God Osiris and the Goddess Isis. At certain periods the king was known in one of his titles as 'the living Horus' who would try to establish and maintain order from chaos. This was the nature of Horus. A defender and fighter against his equally matched uncle Seth who was the god of disorder and destruction, storms and earthquakes. Depictions of Horus fighting Seth are common and can be looked at as the Egyptian version of Yin and Yang because one cannot overpower the other. Night and day, black and white, good and bad.
