This is the rating and price for Romano-Egyptian Limestone Ithyphallic Harpocrates

Description : Egypt, Romano-Egyptian Period, ca. 30 BCE to 2nd century CE. A finely preserved figure of Harpocrates (literally Horus the child) seated nude atop an integral rectangular plinth. Harpocrates sits with bent legs and holds his enormous phallus with both hands while draping it across both shoulders. His face stares outwards with wide, almond-shaped eyes and displays full lips, petite ears, and a broad nose. Harpocrates was the god of silence, secrets, and confidentiality, and the ithyphallic symbols were perceived in the Roman period as a good luck charm, specifically for bringing about good fortune.
