Machine-generated from the object's image on Jul 2026. Not curatorial; treat deities, names, and signs below as the model's best reading, not authority.
A small gold amulet shaped like a seated falcon (Horus-falcon form) is shown against a light patterned background.
The image centers on a tiny, gold-colored object with the recognizable silhouette of a falcon: a compact body, a raised head with beak, and a curved wing/body posture. The surface appears cast or molded, with minimal fine detail, and slight highlights suggest a metallic finish. No hieroglyphs or cartouches are visible on the amulet in this view, and there is no readable Greek/Coptic/Arabic text. The object is too small and the photo angle too limited to identify additional iconographic elements beyond the falcon form. The catalogue description as a “Horus Falcon Amulet” is consistent with the falcon shape, though the exact Horus-specific symbols (if any) are not clearly legible here.
