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 the double crown of Upper and Lower Egypt and a sidelock of youth, as well as an engraved collar; he is otherwise nude. Electrum and enamel inlays decorated the eyes.
