Falcon Reliquary |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
Description |
English: This statuette, likely dedicated to the falcon-god Horus, is missing its crown and eye inlays. The structure of the feathers is carefully incised. The base is inscribed with texts of adoration and prayer. Examination through the hole in the head revealed bird bones that had been wrapped in linen and placed inside through a trap door between the statuette's legs. A neutron-induced radiograph also reveals the presence of bones inside the reliquary. |
