Egyptian amulet of Re-Horakhty.
Late Dynasty Period.
Circa 664-332 BC.
Faience.
Mould-made light sage-green faience amulet of a falcon-headed god. Ra-horakhty stands on an integral base with his left leg advancing.
He wears a short, plaited kilt and has a bare torso, his hands in fists and placed vertically at his side. On his head is a striated wig and the run-disk of ra with ureaus, distinguishing him from the more usual imagery of Horus.
A perforation horizontally through the plain dorsal column, below the wig. Intact, a small crack at the front of the kilt, up to the navel.
