Replica of ancient Egyptian Statue of God Ra-Horakhty with Hieroglyphics

➜ An impressive polychrome stone statue of Ra-Horakhty, the falcon-headed Sun God who embodies the union of Ra and Horus. He is shown in the timeless Egyptian pose: striding forward with clenched fists, wearing the solar disk crown with uraeus and a finely detailed striped kilt. Carved in solid stone and painted in red, turquoise, black, and gold highlights, the figure displays both durability and striking visual power. Hieroglyphic inscriptions cover the back pillar and base, giving this piece a strong devotional and historical character. In ancient Egypt, such statues symbolized eternal life, divine kingship, and protection. The combination of stone and color would have made it both enduring and vibrant — qualities highly prized in temples and tombs. ➜ Why You’ll Love It: • Stone craftsmanship – weighty, durable, and impressive: Unlike wooden figures, which were vulnerable to decay, this statue is carved from stone, giving it a sense of permanence and strength. The solid material makes it feel both authentic and majestic in hand — a true collector’s piece that will last for generations. • Richly painted – polychrome finish that brings the figure to life: The surface is enhanced with vibrant red, turquoise, black, and gold pigments, echoing how the ancient Egyptians used color to express divine power. The polychrome finish adds depth and energy, making the god appear more lifelike and visually captivating. • Powerful symbolism – Ra-Horakhty as the eternal Sun God of rebirth: Ra-Horakhty represents the rising sun, daily renewal, and divine kingship. In Egyptian belief, he was both a protector in life and a guide in the afterlife. Owning this figure means bringing into your space one of the most potent symbols of rebirth and cosmic order from ancient religion. • Inscribed with hieroglyphs – giving it depth and authenticity: The carefully carved hieroglyphs on the back pillar and base connect this piece to real Egyptian devotional objects. For collectors, inscriptions always add a sense of mystery and cultural authenticity, turning the statue into more than an artwork — it becomes a story carved in stone. • Striking presence – a commanding centerpiece for any collection: With its upright stance, vivid colors, and falcon-headed form crowned by the solar disk, this statue immediately draws the eye. It commands attention whether displayed in a cabinet, on a shelf, or as the highlight of a room. It’s the kind of piece that sparks conversation and admiration from anyone who sees it. ➜ Don’t Miss Out: Polychrome stone statues with hieroglyphs are exceptionally rare on the market — once this piece is gone, the chance to own such a striking, museum-style Egyptian replica may not come again. ➜ Height: 25 cm ➜ Width: 5.7 cm ➜ Weight: 660 gram ➜ Object: Egyptian Statue ➜ Material: Stone ➜ Origin: Egypt
