EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Horus Falcon, a bronze statuette from the Egyptian 26th Dynasty. Dating back to 664-30 BC, this solid cast artifact stands at a height of 4.60 cm and measures 1.40 cm in width and 3.30 cm in depth. Housed in the prestigious Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA, this exquisite piece offers us a glimpse into ancient Egyptian culture. The image depicts an Egyptian king kneeling in adoration before a divine figure or shrine. The remaining arms suggest that he may have held offering jars or extended his hands with palms facing each other around a naos, which housed a sacred image. In Egypt, adoration was reserved for deities alone. Undoubtedly part of a larger composition where the king faced a god figure, this statuette highlights the central role played by kings as intermediaries between gods and humans in ancient Egypt. The intricate details and craftsmanship of this bronze sculpture are truly remarkable. The falcon motif represents Horus, one of the most important deities in Egyptian mythology associated with kingship and protection. Through Camera 3's lens, we are able to appreciate not only the beauty but also the historical significance of this ancient artifact—a testament to human creativity and devotion spanning over two millennia ago.
