Egyptian / Egyptienne art - sky God Horus amulet from ancient Egypt mythology
Horus Amulet
Dimensions - 4cm x 4cm x 1cm / 1-1/2 inches x 1-1/2 inches approx.
This small amulet features the sky god Horus and is a copy of the first carving I did when I arrived back from Egypt in 2008. Being at the temple of Edfu on my birthday which was the ancient cult center of Horus must have left an impact. This particular design looks very realistic and It is made of a composition stone with an ancient white colouration. Details are hand painted in antique mineral blue/black and ochre.
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.
*As each item is handmade, slight colour variations may occur.
