EDITORS COMMENTS
This figure of the ancient Egyptian god Re-Horakhty, dating back to the Late Period (1550-332 BC), is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Egypt's religious history. The god Re-Horakhty, also known as "Re in the Horizon of the Two Horizons," was a combination of the falcon god Horus and the sun god Ra. This intricately crafted statuette, made of silver, showcases the god's head wearing the double crown of Upper and Lower Egypt, adorned with the falcon feathers and solar disk. The god is depicted holding a cannon, an unusual attribute, which may represent his role as a protector of the pharaoh in battle. The close-up view of this figure reveals the exquisite details of the god's features, from the intricate carvings of the falcon feathers to the lifelike textures of the silver material. The god's eyes, inlaid with glass or semi-precious stones, add an element of depth and mystery to the figure. This figure was discovered in Egypt, most likely in the region of Mizraim, and is now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). The figure's provenance is unknown, but its presence in a museum collection allows it to be studied and appreciated by scholars and visitors alike. The figure of Re-Horakhty is a reminder of the complex religious beliefs and artistic traditions of ancient Egypt, which continue to captivate and inspire us today. The god's image, with its intricate details and unique attributes, invites us to explore the mysteries of Egypt's past and to appreciate the beauty and richness of its artistic heritage.
