Lower part of enthroned child god, probably Harpokrates
Unknown
332–30 B.C. · Chlorite schist · Egyptian Art
The elaborate throne accompanied by striding lions signifies an association with royalty, and the remains of a nude - and, therefore, child - god point to Harpokrates as the orignal occupant. Slots in the base held added elements, perhaps sphinxes.
