Egyptian papyrus painting: Golden Falcon

Papyrus Painting - Golden Falcon

Please note: recent changes implemented by the Ministry of Antiquities requires all papyrus to be inspected by an expert to ensure that antiquities are not being smuggled out of the country, what this means is that while your order will show as shipped, it may in fact be on hold at the Cairo airport pending inspection. We apologize for any delays that may occur, ultimately it is about the preservation of the history of Egypt.

From the very earliest of times, the falcon seems to have been worshipped in Egypt as representative of the greatest cosmic powers. Many falcon gods existed throughout Egypt, though over time, a good number of these assimilated to Horus whose name means "He who is on high," represented heavenly power; the falcon, which flies above the earth, provided a parallel to Horus within the animal world. Note in this relief he holds the key of life in his talons.
