This slender gilt wood falcon deity most likely represents Qebehsenuef, one the four sons of Horus, who was typically included in funerary sets of this period (see the example in The Metropolitan Museum of Art, no. 12.182.37c). However it is possible that the intended deity is in fact Horus of Letopolis rather than his falcon-headed son, as there are gilded statues of standing falcon deities in the tomb of Tutankhamun, identified as Horus through inscriptions on their bases.
