Ancient Egyptian Horus figurine from Abydos dated 664 – 525 BC

Small copper alloy seated figure of a young naked Horus, with tang from the figure’s bottom to enable attachment to a throne or chair or lap of another figure. The figure wears the double crown of Upper and Lower Egypt, with a protective Uraei. Next to the face is modelled a side lock of youth. The arms are by the figure’s side, and are bent at the elbow to follow the line of the seated legs. The penis is marked, as is the division between the legs, though the legs are not separated. The feet are roughly modelled. Trace of white plaster just above the ankles. Probably of Horus.
