Description : Egypt, Romano-Egyptian Period, ca. 30 BCE to 2nd century CE. A hand-built terracotta figure of Harpocrates (Horus the child) laying recumbent atop an integral rectangular plinth. Harpocrates presents with a raised head held aloft by his left arm while his right arm drapes over the shaft of his enormous phallus before resting atop his bent knee. The youthful face bears petite eyes, a gently protruding nose, and rounded cheeks, all beneath a bald skull cap save for his signature sidelock of youth that drapes down past the right side of his jaw. Harpocrates was the god of silence, secrets, and confidentiality, and the ithyphallic symbols were perceived in the Roman period as good luck charms, specifically for bringing about good fortune.
