Egyptian statue set - Horus the sky god. 3 figures + amulet & mounted relief sculpture
$357.44
On offer here is a very special Horus collection featuring a trio of statue replicas, an amulet seal and one of my mounted relief carvings that has never been available on Etsy before. This is one of the most 'Horus deluxe' of displays that I have ever offered for the god of the sky.
The medium Horus figure is typical of the varieties made during the Ptolemaic period and has a nice form with attention given to feather and claw detailing.
Dimensions :-
Height - 7.6 cm / 3 inches
Length - 7.7 / 3 inches approx.
Width - 3 cm / 1-1/8 inches
The larger statue features Horus of Edfu.
Sleek by design and powerful of face, these statues protected the entrance gates of the temple directly in front of the massive pylons of Egypt's best preserved temple.
Dimensions :-
Height - 18.5 cm / 7-1/4 inches
Base stand - 8 x 8 cm / 3-1/4 x 3-1/4 inches
The amulet seal height - 3.3 cm / 1-3/8 inches
The smallest figure is an early amuletic depiction of the deity and is known as Horus of Nekhen.
The mounted relief carving is a replica of one of my works from the 1990's featuring Horus in classic standing pose. Aged painted details enhance this piece and it looks like a real ancient fragment! It is however signed and dated on the back.
Dimensions including stand -
Height - 26.5 cm / 10-1/2 inches
Width - 18 cm / 7-1/8 inches
depth - 7 cm / 2-3/4 inches
This group of objects offers a pleasing and thought provoking display. Give them some nice warm light like the desk lamp I have used here to show the feathery details to best effect.
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 reigning king of Egypt 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.
