Late Period, Circa 715 to 30 BC.

This bronze artifact depicts Horus, or Ra, one of the most significant deities in ancient Egyptian religion. The plaque shows a figure with a falcon head, which is the classic representation of Horus. The artifact displays characteristic ancient Egyptian artistic conventions with the figure shown in profile.
This representation connects to Horus's role as both a sky god and protector of Egyptian kingship seated in profile, with knees drawn up wearing a disc headdress and with ma’at feather on lap. Black painted pigment to facial details and wig.

Long insertion tang below, this image would have been inserted into a shrine.

This type of plaque would likely have served as a votive offering or religious decoration. Bronze religious objects like this were created not just as artistic works but as tangible connections to the divine, allowing worshippers to make physical offerings to the god.
