Description
Ancient Egyptian Bronze Figure of Harpokrates c.700 BC. Size 3 3/4 inches high. + stand. Fine Ancient Egyptian bronze figurine represents the god Harpokrates, 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. Mounted on wooden block. Provenance: Ex Secret Eyes Gallery New York 1970's-1980's.
Condition
feet and base are modern replacement. the rest of the figure is ancient and good condition.
