Egyptian Inspired Horus Falcon Birds

Birds inspired by Horus, the ancient falcon-headed god

During a recent trip to Egypt, I was deeply inspired by the incredible sculptures and carvings I encountered—each piece filled with history, craftsmanship, and dedication. Moved by what I saw, I created two stone birds, drawing inspiration from Horus, the ancient falcon-headed god.

These Portland stone carvings are my way of honouring the artistry and spirit that left such a strong impression on me.

For sale – £1800 for the pair. Contact Jonathan for more details.
