The Greeks adapted Harpocrates from the Egyptian child-god Horus and often portrayed him as a naked boy with his finger to his mouth, as seen in this bronze statuette.
The naked god is crowned with an Egyptian headdress. His left upper extremity is slightly flexed at the elbow, and the left hand reaches to the corresponding groin.

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.
