Horus model table lamp, patinated bronze

The Horus table lamp is inspired by a sculpture of the god Horus protecting King Nectanebo II. Part of the Egyptian art collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the sculpture, dating from 360-343 BCE, testifies to the deep, even fusional, bond between the pharaoh and Horus, the falcon, god of kingship. The strong and noble form of the original statue is evoked in the Horus table lamp in patinated bronze and beige pleated shade. W. 15|max L. 50|H. 90 cm Shade: Bottom Ø 52|Top Ø 38|H. 32 cm.
