English: Head of a Falcon God (Cairo, Egyptian Museum, JE 32158, H= 37.5 cm). This is a votive object belonging to a bronze statue of the falcon Horus, patron deity of Hierakonpolis (near Edfu), the predynastic capital of Upper Egypt. Its head was executed by means of beating the gold then connecting it with the copper body. A uraeus is fixed to the diadem which supports two tall openwork feathers. The eyes are inlaid with obsidian.
