Notes:

The piece depicts the youth, Harpocrates, fully draped and standing next to a red and blue stove piled with bread which appears to be black and spotted. Harpocrates looks to the right and holds a pink, rounded pot to the side with his left arm and leans to the right with the right elbow upon a tall, piriform neck amphora which is also pink, resting upon a yellow base. The figure wears a tall doublw crown flanked by two pine cones atop a flounced headband which is pink. The face is framed with yellow curls. The groundline is indicated with a black line. The eyes are black, the mouth is pink. The rectangular base is indicated by a frontal plane only and the back is rounded and unindicated. The piece is made of light reddish-brown clay (Munsell 5YR 6/3) molded hollow and sealed at the sides. There is a circular vent in the back and the bottom is open. Traces of paint remain.
