Bronze statuette (11.4 cm) of Harpocrates (Hor-pa-khered, 'Horus the Child'), the personification of the reborn morning sun. He's easily recognised by his crown, his 'sidelock of youth' hairstyle, his finger held to his mouth, and ... his complete butt-nakededness.

Unprovenanced, now in the collection at the Garstang Museum of Archaeology. Photo © me.
