DescriptionThis terracotta votive statuette depicts the Egyptian god, Harpokrates. He is nude and his head clean shaven except for his trademark side-lock. He holds his index finger to his lips in a gesture symbolizing his youth. Mold-made statuettes of this type were mass-produced in Egypt throughout the Ptolemaic and Roman periods.Collections
