Horus Figurines

The Egyptian sky god as falcon and warrior

Horus ranks among the oldest and most significant deities of ancient Egypt. As son of Isis and Osiris, he embodies sky, light and kingship at once – depicted as a falcon or as a human with a falcon's head. As royal god, every reigning pharaoh was regarded as the living embodiment of Horus.

The Eye of Horus & related motifs

Alongside classic Horus figurines, the Eye of Horus belongs to the best-known protective signs of ancient Egypt, having served since the Old Kingdom as a defensive symbol against misfortune. The Four Sons of Horus – Imsety, Hapi, Duamutef and Qebehsenuef – stand as protective gods of the canopic jars in close connection with Horus. Further Egyptian god figurines are available under Egyptian Figurines.
