Description
This statue depicts a naval commander named Hor, who lived during the reign of King Psamtek II (595-589 BC). His 'good name' or 'nickname' probably refers to the more famous King Psamtek I (664-610 BC), during whose long reign Hor was likely born. Hor is shown holding - and therefore eternally protecting - a small shrine with an image of the lion-headed goddess Bastet. It was hoped the goddess would protect Hor in return.
