Harpokrates (Horus the Child)
mid 8th-mid 4th century BCE (Late Period)
bronze
This seated depiction of Harpokrates is probably from a group that would have shown this figure in the lap of his mother Isis. He wears a skull cap and sidelock of youth, and a collar and amulet are shown on his neck; otherwise he is nude. The gods eyes are inlaid with a brighter material.
