Description (CMS Description)
Bronze seated statuette of Harpocrates with feet resting on a base. The god wears a uraeus and the sidelock of youth on the right. He holds both arms down by the sides of his body. It appears that there was originally a vertical loop, pierced laterally for suspension, behind the neck, although most of this is now broken away. (see Davies and Smith)
