Egypt, Alexandria, late Ptolemaic to early Romano-Egyptian period, ca. 1st century BCE to 1st century CE. A hollow-molded pottery sculpture depicting a nude Horus (also Harpocrates, Harpokrates). He stands atop an integral ovoid plinth with delineated legs and a huge phallus hanging in-between and holds a sizable amphora in one arm while reaching his other hand inside. His child-like face exhibits almond-shaped eyes, a wide nose with flared nostrils, puffy cheeks, a petite chin, and cupped ears, with a plaited side lock of youth on one side of his face, and all beneath a leaf-adorned headband. Horus was the god of silence, secrets, and confidentiality, and a member of the Triad of Alexandria along with Serapis and Isis, the three gods most venerated in that city. Size: 3.5" W x 7.25" H (8.9 cm x 18.4 cm); 8" H (20.3 cm) on included custom stand.
Provenance: private J.H. collection, Beaverton, Oregon, USA, acquired between 2007 and 2009; ex-Tom Cederlind collection, Portland, Oregon, USA
