Seated figure of Isis suckling Harpocrates (identifiable with the so-called ‘Isis lactans’ motif). The goddess is wearing a hathoric crown, consisting of a solar disc with horns resting on a stylised uraeiform modius. She is wearing a tripartite wig decorated with incised vertical streaks and with a stylised vulture headdress. The goddess is wearing an ankle-length, tight-fitting dress and she has armlets, bracelets and anklets. Isis brings her right hand to her left breast, which is smaller than the right one, while her left hand holds Harpocrates’ head. The feet rest on a hollow square base. From the base, a square tenon projects down. The god Harpocrates is sitting on Isis’ lap. The god is depicted naked, wearing the skullcap decorated with the uraeus and side-lock on the right side of the head, which ends with a curl on the right shoulder. Harpocrates has his arms at sides with hands open, the palms facing down. The legs are together, separated by a groove. The left foot is missing. The object is made in the lost-wax technique for solid casts.
