介绍（中）	猎鹰之神荷鲁斯站着，翅膀向后仰。他戴着埃及的双冠，这是一顶象征着下埃及和上埃及统一的王室王冠，突出了荷鲁斯作为整个国家合法统治者的角色。猎鹰佩戴双冠是因为早在前王朝时期，荷鲁斯和王权的概念就紧密相连猎鹰站在一个长方形的平台上，这个平台可能有多种功能。这个雕像可能被连接在一个单独的铜金属或木制底座上，也可能是模仿节日游行和神圣树皮上使用的标准。猎鹰也可能坐在一个中空的盒子上，用来装一具动物木乃伊，比如41.160.107。这样的猎鹰木乃伊盒或石棺会被提供用于动物墓地，不仅与荷鲁斯崇拜有关，而且更广泛地与太阳崇拜有关。
介绍（英）	The falcon god Horus stands with his wings swept back. He wears the double crown of Egypt, a royal crown that symbolizes the union of Lower and Upper Egypt, and highlights Horus’ role as the legitimate ruler of the entire land. The falcon wears the double crown because Horus and the concept of kingship were closely tied, as early as the Predynastic Period. The falcon stands on a rectangular platform, which could have functioned in a number of ways. The figure could have been attached to a separate cupreous metal or wooden base, or it could have topped a standard modeled after those used in festival processions and on sacred barks. The falcon also could have sat on top of a hollow box intended for holding an animal mummy, like 41.160.107. Such falcon mummy boxes, or sarcophagi, would have been offered for deposition in animal necropoleis, not just in relation to the cult of Horus, but also more broadly in association with solar cult.
