RARE EGYPTIAN BLACK SCHIST MAGICAL BLOCK STATUE WITH HORUS STELE OF PADIHORNEDJITEF Early Ptolemaic Period, Ca. 304 - 200 BC. A black schist block statue, unfortunately, without the head. The figure is sculpted in a seated posture with legs drawn up to the chest and arms crossed over the knees, a characteristic of the Egyptian block statues. The body is inscribed with hieroglyphic magical texts and figures of deities and demons. The two columns of hieroglyphic text on the back pillar contain the priestly titles and the genealogy of Padihornedjitef, son of Imhotep, born of Tjehenet. In front of the figure, resting at its feet, is an apotropaic stela - also known as the Cippus of Horus, a magical stele, sculpted in high relief with the figure of Horus the Child, standing at the centre atop two crocodiles. The god is depicted nude, his left leg advanced, grasping serpents and scorpions in each hand. On the right side, Horus seizes an oryx by the horns, and on the left, a lion by the tail, symbolising control over dangerous forces. Above Horus’s head is the mask of the protective deity Bes, reinforcing the theme of divine guardianship. Flanking Horus are two tall standards: on the right, a lotus-topped pole surmounted by an ostrich feather crown; on the left, a papyrus terminal upon which perches a falcon facing the god. The surrounding surfaces are densely inscribed with magical texts intended to invoke protection against serpents, scorpions, and other threats from the wild, employing formulae to neutralise harm and ensure divine safeguarding.
