Horus as a child. Ancient Egypt, Nubia, dynasty 25-26, 770-657 BC. Bronze. The lower legs are missing. Restorations on the wrists. Provenance: Hotel des Ventes de Monte-Carlo, 2019. Measurements: 20 cm. This is a bronze sculpture representing the child god Horus erect in an attitude of walking, bringing his right hand to his mouth as a symbol of childhood, as it is the gesture repeated by children, while the left arm remains attached to the body. This sculpture presents the typical Egyptian conventions, such as the idealization and representation of a leg forward as a symbol of royalty and power. He wears the double crown or sejemty, which results from the union of the crown of Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt, attributing to its bearer the power over both territories. Although it is not appreciated, possibly the crown would be decorated with the ureus or royal cobra as a symbol of power. In addition, as a symbol of childhood, it is touched with the finely braided wick of childhood. It presents golden eyes with black pupils. This iconography of Horus as a child responds to the identification given by the Greeks to whom they called Horus child, Hor-pa-jard or Harpocrates, to differentiate him from the other bifurcation of Horus.
