This bronze figure of a man with a hawk head represents Re-Horakhty (or Ra), the Egyptian god of the sun. This majestic statuette is typical of objects that a Greek trader or traveler might have seen and marveled over when Egypt was a world power. Egyptian gods were commonly depicted with human bodies and animal heads. Here the god Re-Horakhty, a combination of the solar gods Ra and Horus, is identified by the hawk’s head. The statuette’s strong body and dynamic stance exemplifies the Egyptian artist’s notion of the ideal male figure and expresses the vigor and power of Re-Horakhty, to whom the statuette would have been given as an offering. Circa 1070-656 B.C. This object is part of "Scan The World".
