Harpokrates (Horus the Child)
Description
<p>This image may show Khonsu as a child, due to the inscription on the base, although the boy is shown in a manner typically identified as that of Horus the child (Harpokrates). The child wears the double crown of Upper and Lower Egypt, with a sidelock of youth on one side of his head. He holds his right finger to his lips in a typical gesture of childhood, while his left fist is held down at his side.</p><p>For the latest information about this object, <cite><a href='https://purl.thewalters.org/art/54.1973' rel='external'>Harpokrates (Horus the Child)</a></cite>, visit the Online Collection of the Walters Art Museum.</p>
