His side-lock of youth is broken off and missing. He wears the double crown of Upper and Lower Egypt, although the tip of the white crown is also broken; he is otherwise nude except for engraved collar, amulets, armlets, and bracelets. There are traces of gilding, and his eyes are inlaid with gold and enamel.</p><p>For the latest information about this object, <cite><a href='https://purl.thewalters.org/art/54.1974' rel='external'>Harpokrates (Horus the Child)</a></cite>, visit the Online Collection of the Walters Art Museum.</p>
