This is a carved wooden figure of Horus.

It is from Tomb H5-652, at Saqqara. The god Horus was the child of the goddess Isis. The Egyptians made many images of him. This one may have been a votive offering to protect a child. Horus the child was also known as Harpocrates. This is a carved wooden figure of Horus. It is carved from wood. We do not know how old this object is.
