Ancient Egyptian. Statuette of Re-Horakhty. 1069 BC–664 BC. Egypt. Copper alloy with gilding Egyptian gods were commonly depicted with human bodies and animal heads. Here the god Re-Horakhty, a combination of the solar gods Re 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.
