About Horus:
Horus is one of the central figures in ancient Egyptian mythology, often associated with the sky, light, power, and protection. He is traditionally depicted as a falcon or as a man with a falcon’s head, symbolizing his celestial nature and connection to the sun.

1. Mythological Origin:

   • Horus is the son of Osiris and Isis. According to legend, after Osiris was killed and dismembered by Set, Isis reassembled his body using magic and conceived Horus.

   • As such, Horus embodies the themes of rebirth and restoration.

2. Struggle for Power:

   • Horus is best known for his prolonged conflict with Set, the god of chaos, who murdered Osiris. This battle represents the eternal struggle between order and disorder.

   • Ultimately, Horus triumphed, becoming the ruler of Egypt and symbolizing the return of harmony.

3. Symbolism:

   • His eyes are associated with celestial bodies—the right eye represents the sun, the left the moon.

   • He was considered the divine protector of pharaohs, who were often referred to as the “sons of Horus,” underscoring their divine authority.

4. Cult and Worship:

   • Horus was widely venerated throughout ancient Egypt, with major temples such as the one in Edfu dedicated to his worship.

   • Rituals honoring Horus often focused on themes of rebirth, renewal, and protection.

5. Cultural Influence:

   • The image of Horus became a widespread symbol of protection and justice, frequently appearing in amulets and religious artifacts.

   • His mythology had a lasting influence on Egyptian religion, art, and cultural identity.

Horus remains a powerful emblem of protection, renewal, and divine authority, and this statuette reflects both artistic craftsmanship and mythological heritage.
