The Falcon God Horus, one of the most ancient Egyptian deities, is the son of Isis and Osiris, avenger of his father's death and protector of kings. The oldest hieroglyphs use a falcon symbol to portray the concept of god. He is therefore also a symbol of the Egyptian Pharaoh, a living god, and was often incorporated into the king's name. When Horus as a Pharaoh died, he became his own father, Osiris, fertilized his wife/mother and thus engendered his own rebirth! This Horus Amulet, molded from the 2500 year old original, was worn as a symbol of justice and as a protective link with the living god-king.
