Harpocrates statuette

Seated, naked figure of Harpocrates, probably part of a nursing Isis statuette. The god is wearing the skullcap decorated with the uraeus and the side-lock on the right side of the head, which ends with a curl on the right shoulder. Harpocrates has two armlets and a necklace. Harpocrates has his arms at sides with hands open, the palms facing down. The legs are together. The object is made in the lost-wax technique for solid casts.
