Descripción : An Egyptian Bronze Figure of Harpokrates, Saite Period, ca. 664 - 552 BC, This bronze figurine represents the god Harpokrates, i.e. Horus the child. The Greeks created the name of Harpokrates from the Egyptian 'Har-pa-khered', literally 'Horus-the-child'. He acted as an amuletic force warding off dangerous creatures and was a popular deity with the Phoenicians who were closely connected to Egypt by both geography and trade. As shown in this example, he was often represented as a naked child, with the right index finger to his mouth, wearing a headdress with a frontal uraeus and hair with a braided sidelock of youth curling at his right shoulder, striding forth on an integral rectangular base. For a related example, see EA 60975 in the British Museum's collection of Egyptian antiquities. Background: Harpokrates is sometimes shown on the lap of his enthroned mother, in bronze statue groups of the Late Period (661-332 BC), when these deities were particularly popular. They were seen as members of the ideal family, consisting of Osiris, Isis and Harpokrates.
