This ancient Egyptian plaque depicts the
god Horus. The falcon-headed god,
holds in his right hand the ankh, a
symbol of life. The kings of Egypt
associated themselves with Horus, who
was the son of Isis and Osiris. Horus is
an ancient god of Egyptian mythology,
whose cult survived so long that he
evolved dramatically over time and
gained many names. Horus was so
important that the Eye of Horus became
an important Egyptian symbol of power.
Originally, Horus was the god of the sky,
and the son of Ra, the creator (whose
own birth was thought due to the
Ogdoad).
