Royal Egyptian Artifact – "حورس" (Ḥūrūs) – "Horus" (pharaonic basalt)

story:

In the vast expanse of Egypt's ancient deserts, where the winds carry the whispers of the gods, there stands a figure of unparalleled power — Horus, the god of the sky, war, and kingship. Born of the divine union of Osiris and Isis, Horus was more than just a god; he was the protector of Egypt, the eternal defender of order against chaos. But behind his many victories and divine rule lies a story that has been hidden by time — a tale of a god whose power transcended even the mortal realm.

The standing figure of Horus is a work of extraordinary craftsmanship, embodying both the fierce strength of the hawk and the nobility of the divine. With his piercing eyes, sharp wings outstretched, and stance that seems to defy the very elements, this statue does not merely represent Horus; it embodies his very essence. It is said that the statue holds the god’s divine presence, and those who gaze upon it feel as though they are under the protection of the falcon-headed god himself.

Pharaonic Basalt:

Pharaonic basalt refers to the igneous volcanic rock used by the ancient Egyptians during the Pharaonic period (c. 3100–30 BC) for various artistic, ritual, and functional purposes. Basalt is a dense, hard, dark stone, usually black or dark gray, formed from cooled lava. Its durability and fine grain make it particularly suitable for fine carving and long-lasting monuments.
