介绍（中）	该图代表一位坐着/斜倚的儿童神，戴着带着复仇女神的下摆王冠。卷边王冠是与儿童神分开铸造的，并插入并固定在头顶。儿童神通常通过一系列图像线索与成人神区分开来：他的裸体、手指举到嘴上（一种类似儿童的姿势），以及附在其克星右侧的厚侧锁。在这里，人物的双手都握在两侧，但他的裸体和侧锁足以证明他是一个儿童神。童神通常与皇室联系在一起，这位神的下摆是一个精心制作的带有太阳联想的皇家王冠，这里不仅通过王冠顶部的太阳圆盘来强调，还通过每个下摆元素底部的雕刻太阳圆盘来突出。同时，孩子神丰满、营养良好的肚子展示了他带来繁荣和富足的能力从第三个中期开始，儿童神越来越受欢迎和崇拜，甚至可以与最强大和最古老的神相媲美，尤其是作为寺庙祭品。最著名的是孩子荷鲁斯（Harpokrates），他是伊西斯和奥西里斯的儿子，但也有许多其他人存在，包括孩子孔苏、伊希和哈西泽等。因此，如果没有相关的铭文，很难为这尊小雕像确定准确的身份。
介绍（英）	The figure represents a child god in a seated/reclining position, wearing the hemhem crown with the nemes. The hemhem crown was cast separately from the child god, and was inserted and secured at the top of the head. The child god is usually distinguished from adult gods by a range of iconographic clues: his nudity, the finger raised to the mouth (a child-like gesture), and the thick sidelock attached on the right side of his nemes. Here the figure’s hands are both held at the sides, but his nudity and sidelock suffice to identify him as a child god. Child gods are commonly linked with royalty and this god’s hemhem is an elaborate royal crown with solar associations, here emphasized not just by the sun disks at the top of the crown, but also by incised sun disks at the base of each hem element. Meanwhile, the child god’s plump, well-fed belly showcases his ability to bring about prosperity and abundance. Child gods grew in popularity and cult from the Third Intermediate Period onwards, rivaling even the most powerful and ancient gods, especially as temple offerings. The best known is Horus the Child (Harpokrates), who was the son of Isis and Osiris, but many others existed, including Khonsu the Child, Ihy, and Harsiese, among others. Thus it is difficult to assign a precise identity to this statuette without an associated inscription.
