Upper part of a sarcophagus in the form of a falcon's head
Upper part of a small sarcophagus in the form of a falcon. The hawk has a hairstyle divided into parts, a broad collar and on its breast a winged scarab pushing a sun disc, symbol of the morning sun. As the hawk is a symbol of Horus, this type of object was generally used for the mummies of pharaohs, considered to be the Horus heirs on earth.
