This print showcases a remarkable wall painting of Horus, the falcon-headed god, found in the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut. Dating back to the 15th century BC, during Queen Hatshepsut's reign between 1479 BC and 1457 BC, this ancient artwork is a testament to Egypt's rich religious and architectural heritage.
