From the Museo Egizio record
Seated, naked figure of Harpocrates. The god has the side-lock on the right side of the head, decorated with a plaited pattern and ending with a curl on the right shoulder. The god wears the nemes, surmounted by the hemhem-crown. At the back of the hemhem-crown there is a broken suspension loop, composed of two bands. Harpocrates is bringing his right index finger to his mouth, the left arm is at side, the hand open and with the pam facing down. The legs are together up to the knees. The leg muscles are slightly indicated. The feet rest on a thin rectangular base. The object is made in the lost-wax technique for solid casts. Dimensions: 2.5 cm x 11.5 cm x 4 cm.
