Harpokrates (Horus the Child)
Harpokrates stands with his left foot advanced. His left arm is down at his side, with the fist clenched, while his right finger is pressed to his lips in his customary gesture. His hair is arranged in a side-lock of youth. He wears a skull cap with a uraeus and an amulet around his neck but is otherwise nude. There are traces of gilding, and his eyes are inlaid with gold and enamel.
