介绍（中）	猎鹰之神荷鲁斯站着，翅膀向后仰。他戴着埃及的双冠，这是一顶象征着下埃及和上埃及统一的王室王冠，突出了荷鲁斯作为整个国家合法统治者的角色。王冠的元素独特且制作精良：下埃及的红色王冠，前部只有卷曲的螺旋，上埃及的白色王冠。猎鹰佩戴双冠是因为早在前王朝时期，荷鲁斯和王权的概念就紧密相连。猎鹰是镀金的，明亮的金色传达了它闪闪发光的神圣本性。神的铜金属雕像经常被镀金，但随着时间的推移，镀金很容易磨损。这种罕见的幸存代表了更大类别的材料，并表明捐赠者是如何投资于昂贵的材料，即使是小规模的小雕像猎鹰站在一个长方形的神龛形盒子上，盒子里本来可以放一具动物木乃伊。猎鹰和盒子是分开制作的。猎鹰站在一个长方形的底座上，现在与盒子的顶部相连。这样的猎鹰木乃伊盒或石棺会被提供用于动物墓地，不仅与荷鲁斯崇拜有关，而且更广泛地与太阳崇拜有关。
介绍（英）	The falcon god Horus stands with his wings swept back. He wears the double crown of Egypt, a royal crown that symbolizes the union of Lower and Upper Egypt, and highlights Horus’ role as the legitimate ruler of the entire land. The crown’s elements are distinct and well made: the red crown of Lower Egypt, lacking only its curling spiral at the front, and the white crown of Upper Egypt. The falcon wears the double crown because Horus and the concept of kingship were closely tied, as early as the Predynastic Period. The falcon is gilded and the bright gold color communicates its shining, luminous divine nature. Cupreous metal statuettes of gods were frequently gilded, but the gilding easily wears over time. This rare survival is representative of a much larger category of material, and shows how donors invested in costly materials even for small-scale statuettes. The falcon stands on a rectangular, shrine-shaped box that would have held an animal mummy. The falcon and box were fashioned separately. The falcon stands on a rectangular base, now joined with the top of the box. Such falcon mummy boxes, or sarcophagi, would have been offered for deposition in animal necropoleis, not just in relation to the cult of Horus, but also more broadly in association with solar cult.
