Onuris. Dimensions: H. 12.2 cm (4 13/16 in.); W. 3.7 cm (1 7/16 in.); D. 5 cm (1 15/16 in.). Date: 664-30 B.C..Onuris is depicted here, recognizable by his short hair and distinctive garment, which comprises a long patterned kilt, in this case combined with a finely detailed feathered or scaled cuirass. His crown comprises four tall feathers, represented flat and side-by-side, and he has a triple-strap suspension loop on the back. Onuris was a fierce god, known for capturing enemies in battle or hunting dangerous animals. His right arm is raised in the act of spearing a defeated enemy or animal, or holding a rope, which presumably he used to snare his prey. In this role, he personified good conquering and controlling forces of chaos and disruption. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
