Name and identity

Double Falkes royal Serech is unique in its presentation, because he is crowned by two Horus falcon. The Hawks look here at each other. Striking is the fact that the " ceiling beams " of Serech caved sharp and does not have the usual horizontal line. Each of the falcon sits on its own tip.
