(Alva Studios), this highly collectible piece is an exact authorized reproduction of the ancient Egyptian artifact on display at The Louvre Museum in Paris.

Cast in heavy Alvastone, the falcon features a sleek, matte black finish with clean sweeping lines that give it a distinctly Modernist or Art Deco aesthetic. Its most captivating feature is the pair of piercing, inlaid yellow eyes that beautifully contrast against the dark body. The falcon is permanently mounted to its original solid wood block base.

Markings:
The reverse side of the falcon is stamped with the official "© 1955 ALVA STUDIOS" copyright mark. The underside of the wood base still retains its rare, original gold foil authenticity label, confirming its collaboration with the Special Services Department of the French National Museums. See less
