Definitely an Egyptian God. It was just one of the many Egyptian symbols that we got from this episode (and others). The statue is holding ankhs in each hand, and Paul had the ankh, as well. We also have the prominence of Horace (Horus). Remember the timer in the hatch went to hieroglyphics after it hit 0 in Season 2.
The temple of the smoke monster was also covered in Egyptian hieroglyphics.

Overall I enjoyed that episode, especially Sawyer and Alpert's interaction. I love how Richard Alpert is totally just running into people all over time who are like "yeaaaaah, so uh I'm from the future."

So the Hostiles and Dharma had a truce? I wonder what actually broke it, if anything, to cause Alpert to seek Ben to cause the Purge.

Also:

SAWYERxJULIET FTW.

edit: Oh, and a baby was born on the Island! Sawyer told Juliet that whatever caused the baby deaths may not have happened yet - maybe it was something that Dharma did that caused the baby dying?

edit again: And Charlotte is alive again! But a child. So obviously Dan is going to threaten her not to return to the Island and fail.
