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 side-lock of youth is broken off and missing. He wears the double crown of Upper and Lower Egypt, although the tip of the white crown is also broken; he is otherwise nude except for engraved collar, amulets, armlets, and bracelets. There are traces of gilding, and his eyes are inlaid with gold and enamel.
