Small votive figurines of Harpokrates (the infant Horus) are common, especially in Egypt where he was an important deity in local popular religion. He wears the pschent (the double crown of the Two Lands of Egypt) and carries a cornucopiae in his left arm. He is shown with his forefinger to his lips, a pose that dates back to the New Kingdom in the Late Bronze Age. It was interpreted by Roman writers as signifying secrecy with regard to the mysteries of the Egyptian cult.Free picture Bronze statuette of Harpokrates integrated with the OffiDocs web apps
