figurine, Harpocrates; Fayoum; Figurines; Bronze; Copper; Harpocrates

Notes:

Surface pitted and marred by bronze disease, which has been arrested. Harpocrates, half-seated, holds left arm to side, the forefinger of right hand in his mouth. He wears an uraeus on his forehead, a pharaoh scarf, and a hmhm crown. The U-shaped face has a low rectangular forehead. The nose forms a strong perpendicular to brow line. The eyes are beady and widely set. The trunk is short, the legs elongated, and the broad feet rest on a inclined trapezoidal plinth which is fitted with a notch for insertion into a separate piece. The bulges of the buttocks are summarily rendered. All forms are stiff and roughly defined.
