The God Harpocrates. Ptolemaic Egypt.
Artist: Epoque Ptolémaïque 323-30 Avant J.c
This finely crafted sculpture represents the upper portion of the god Harpocrates, shown with his right index finger raised to his mouth. He wears a tripartite wig surmounted by a composite crown, and features an uraeus as well as the braided sidelock of youth. From a French collection, most likely dating to before 1980. Carved from steatite, the piece possesses a beautiful amber-toned patina.
