Lower part of enthroned child god, probably Harpokrates

Ptolemaic Period

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 134

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.
