EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning double figurine of the Hawk and Lion Deities, dating from the Late Period-Ptolemaic Period of Ancient Egypt (711-30 BCE), is a captivating example of the rich artistic heritage of this ancient civilization. The figurine, made of bronze, depicts the deities Horus, the god of the sky, protection, and kingship, represented as a hawk, and Ma'at or Maahes, the goddess of truth, justice, and the protector of the pharaoh in battle, represented as a lion or a sphinx with the lion's body and the head of a goddess or a lion-headed god. The close-up view reveals intricate details of the deities' features, with the hawk's sharp beak and the lion's mane and muscular body. The figurine's patina adds to its antiquity and authenticity, making it a valuable addition to any collection of Ancient Egyptian art. This sculpture, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is a testament to the enduring influence of Egyptian culture and religion, which continue to captivate and inspire scholars, artists, and visitors alike.
