This artifact, named the "Horus Sitting Statue," is a limestone sculpture depicting Horus dressed in Roman military uniform. It was made around the 1st to 2nd century AD and is currently housed in the British Museum. The arm of the sculpture has been lost, and there was originally a crown on top of the head, which may have been made of other materials. The details of the feathers on the falcon's head are finely crafted, and the eyes are humanoid with the pupils depicted. The feathers of the falcon god also serve as scales for the carapace, with its sleeves ending below the shoulders.
