Description

Ancient Egypt, Romano-Egyptian Period, ca. 30 BCE to 2nd century CE. A mold-formed pottery figure of Harpocrates, the god of silence and secret-keeping, seated nude atop an integral rectangular plinth. The bald figure leans to his left with one leg crossed atop his exposed genitals while the other is bent upwards to provide support for the massive drinking vessel held in his right arm. Remains of red and white pigment are visible across the figure and indicate how elaborately this was decorated at one time. Size: 1.125" L x 1.8" W x 2.3" H (2.9 cm x 4.6 cm x 5.8 cm)

Provenance: Collection of Dr. W. Benson Harer, Los Angeles, California, USA; ex-Charles Ede Ltd, London, England, September 22, 1994; ex-Ascher collection; ex-Fouquet collection
