EDITORS COMMENTS
This close-up image showcases a fragment of a limestone block statue of the ancient Egyptian god Hor, hailing from the 22nd Dynasty, during the reigns of Takelot II to Osorkon III, around 883-835 BCE. The statue, now a cherished piece at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is a testament to the intricate hand-carved artistry of ancient Egypt. The god Hor, also known as Horus or Hori, is depicted in this fragment with his falcon head, a symbol of power, strength, and the protector of the pharaoh. The god's name, "Hor," is inscribed in elegant hieroglyphics, adorning the statue's base. The hieroglyphs are meticulously carved, each character distinct and clear, revealing the mastery of the ancient Egyptian artisans. The statue is made of grey limestone, a common building material in ancient Egypt. The intricate carving reveals the patience and skill of the artist, who carefully chiseled away the stone to create this exquisite work of art. The statue's surface is worn, a testament to its age and the passage of time. This fragment is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of ancient Egypt and the incredible artistry of its people. The intricate details, the masterful carving, and the inscriptions all speak to the importance of this god in ancient Egyptian society and the reverence with which the people held their deities. The Corner of Block Statue of Hor is a precious addition to LACMA's collection, a reminder of the incredible artistic achievements of ancient Egypt and the enduring legacy of its people.
