Scarab with the Representation of a Falcon-headed Figure Between Uraei ca. 1640-1500 B.C. (late Middle Bronze Age IIB-IIC) Second Intermediate Period A figure with the head of a falcon kneels while holding a lotus flower with a long stem. He is flanked by raised cobras (uraei). Such falcon-headed figures are frequently found on Canaanite scarabs of the Middle Bronze Age (ca. 1700-1500 B.C., contemporary with the Second Intermediate Period in Egypt) and can grasp a flower, a branch or a cobra. Even though they are of Canaanite manufacture, these scarabs show the falcon-headed figure paired with Egyptian signs and symbols and it is therefore very likely they represent the Egyptian god Horus. This scarab dates to the later phase of Canaanite production, ca. 1640-1500 B.C.. Scarab with the Representation of a Falcon-headed Figure Between Uraei. ca. 1640-1500 B.C.
