Statuette of seated Horus (coated in gold paint and black(?)). Reverse appears hollowed out, where an object wrapped in linen has been inserted into the cavity, which was then re-covered in plaster (parts of which have flaked off). Inscription around the outside of the figure, painted on both sides which is possibly a later addition, as there is no real grammatical clarity.
