Small Statue of God Horus

Small Statue of God Horus – Egyptian Amulet 8 cm

The Golden Falcon with the Staff of Power

The statue is made of polyresin (synthetic resin), a material that allows for the capture of fine details, such as plumage or facial features, while remaining affordable. The surface is hand-painted predominantly in gold, evoking divine nature and the sun. Horus is depicted in a proud stance as a man with a falcon's head. On his head, he bears the sun disk with the sacred cobra (uraeus), and in his right hand, he holds a long staff (the was scepter), symbolising strength and dominion. The figure stands on a small black base decorated with reliefs resembling hieroglyphs.

Protector of Pharaohs and God of the Sky

Horus was originally the god of the sky—his eyes were the sun and the moon. Over time, he became the personal protector of the Pharaoh; every ruler was considered a "living Horus" on earth. In mythology, he is best known for his battle with his uncle Set, whom he defeated to avenge the death of his father, Osiris. In the Middle Kingdom, he was worshipped as the deity of Upper Egyptian districts, and his cult persisted into the Greco-Roman period, where he was sometimes even depicted as a Roman legionary. However, this statue maintains the classic ancient Egyptian form.

Care for the Miniature

To ensure this little guardian lasts as long as possible, give it some care:

• Handling: Be especially careful with the thin staff in the statue's hand. While polyresin is strong, thin parts can be brittle and may break if handled roughly or dropped.
• Cleaning: Use a soft brush or a dry cloth to remove dust. Do not use water or chemical cleaners to avoid damaging the hand-painted finish.
• Placement: The statue is intended strictly for indoor use.

We recommend combining the statue with other miniatures from our Egyptian collection, such as the goddess Isis or the god Anubis, to create a small home pantheon.
