This bronze statuette is a stereotypical representation of the child-god Hapocrates raising his right hand to his mouth and carrying the horn of abundance in his left hand. The naked god is turning to the right and stepping forward. The left lower extremity is slightly bent at the knee. The left foot is absent.
