The harpoon with the head of Horus, the Egyptian falcon-headed god, wearing a tripartite wig and crowned by Uraeus, a Cobra symbol of sovereignty, and sun disc, related to Horus’s role as solar god.

The arrow shaped upper part, is modeled as a falcon, seen in profile. The body is cylindrical, with two suspension loops, one at the back of the Horus-head and the other at the bottom.

The falcon face is finely modeled, with curved beak and accentuated eyes.

According to Egyptian myth, Horus of Edfu (type of Horus related to his cult in Edfu) used a harpoon as a weapon to kill Seth when he took the form of a hippopotamus.

The Phoenician art used to adopt iconographical elements from Egyptian art and present them in the local style, as it happened here.
