Harpokrates (Horus the Child)
Harpokrates stands with his left foot advanced, his left hand held down at his side, while his right index finger touches his mouth in the standard gesture of childhood. He wears a skullcap and a sidelock of youth, and a heart pendant is shown around his neck; the god is otherwise nude.
