古埃及人的复制品 Faience 埃及大旅行法恩斯陶鹰（荷鲁斯）护符—仿古复制品 - 8 cm (没有保留价)

这件埃及“大圆游”釉陶护身符是19/20世纪的仿制品，模仿古埃及模型，灵感来自通常与霍鲁斯（Horus）或拉-霍拉克提（Ra-Horakhty）相关的鹰头神像。

该雕像 depicts a falcon-headed deity standing upright in profile, with a human body and arms held close to the sides, standing on a small integral base. The head is surmounted by a double crown, a feature commonly associated with Horus as ruler of both Upper and Lower Egypt. The compact, formal pose is characteristic of ancient Egyptian amuletic and votive figures and was frequently reproduced for the Grand Tour market.

The surface shows a light turquoise-blue faience glaze, with natural patina, glaze variation, and wear consistent with late 19th or mid-20th-century manufacture. Carved details such as the eye, headgear, and feathered elements remain visible, reflecting the stylistic intent to evoke ancient prototypes rather than reproduce a specific archaeological object.

Historical Context
In ancient Egyptian belief, Horus, often shown in falcon or falcon-headed form, symbolized divine kingship, protection, and the sky. Amulets and small votive figures of this type were associated with protection, rebirth, and royal power.

During the 19th and 20th centuries, such forms were widely reproduced as Grand Tour objects, allowing collectors to engage with Egyptian religious symbolism without removing ancient artifacts from their original context.

Condition

Good condition for its type.
Surface wear, glaze loss, and minor imperfections consistent with age and production. No visible restorations.

Provenance
Private collection.
Acquired on the U.S. art market (1960s–1970s).
