Horus-Shed hunting on his Chariot: Forgotten Monuments

Among the large corpus of Horus Cippi depicting the child-god on the crocodiles, some rare monuments include a scene showing Horus-Shed on his chariot. The god is figured shooting arrows against dangerous animals like lions, snakes, scorpions or others, neutralizing crocodiles with lassos, sometimes helped by the dwarf-god Bes driving the chariot. These scenes has been studied in the past notably by Jocelyne Berlandini-Keller: around twenty monuments showing the holy hunt of Horus-Shed are known and quoted in the egyptological literature. In the context of my doctoral research, I collected the documentation about the iconography of Horus-Shed on his chariot: some of the stelae are still unpublished and new samples can be added to the corpus. The purpose of this paper is to discuss especially about two forgotten monuments belonging to this kind of iconography.
