Horus Falcon
 | |  |  |  | Published since: June 10, 2008 Last update: April 28, 2009 |
The undisputed master of the Egyptian sky, the peregrine falcon was considered to be a divine animal.
Several gods, mainly Horus, were represented in the form of a falcon or a hawk-headed man.
The bird, in this case, is portrayed standing still, in a deliberately simplified and massive shape. The eyes of the original statue are inlaid with flint and express the cruelty of a bird of prey.
The ancient Egyptians had elaborated a metaphysical system based on the eye of Horus, which symbolized universal fertility. The two eyes of the falcon-god were sometimes compared to the sun and the moon.
