Cippus of Horus (magical stela)

Cippus of Horus (magical stela). Dimensions: h. 4.5 cm (1 3/4 in.) × w. 1.8 cm (11/16 in.). Date: 332-30 B.C.. This small stela is representative of the genre of Egyptian art known as the cippus (plural, cippi) or magical stela. An image of the infant Horus on the front beneath a Bes-image is shown subduing dangerous animals. The Metternich Stela (acc. 50.85) is the largest and most elaborate example of the genre. Texts on such stelae often include a reference to transforming water poured over the stela into a curative libation.
