Description
Archaeology. Egypt. Rare amulet of Horus on crocodiles, a talisman of protection. Bronze. Height: 5 cm excluding the plinth. Displayed on a marble plinth. The great monarchical god with the head of a falcon, wearing the double crown of the kings of Upper and Lower Egypt, subdues the dreaded saurians of the Nile. The God-King himself protects the believer against all venomous bites whilst crossing the desert banks on foot. The ultimate antidote in an often hostile natural environment. Provenance: public auction in France, formerly a French private collection. Late Period (664–332 BC) or Greco-Roman period.
