介绍（中）	该图代表一位儿童神，身披双冠，以跨步/站立的姿势，暗示其王室地位。儿童神与成人神的区别在于一系列的图像线索：他的裸体、手指举到嘴边（一种类似儿童的手势）和头部右侧的侧锁。侧锁是单独铸造的，并使用一个小销进行机械连接，在头部附近仍然可见。与此同时，银色镶嵌突出了他的眼睛和胸前的护身符。护身符悬挂在脖子后面打结的绳子上，这是儿童神的常见属性从第三个中期开始，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。由于其丰富多彩和许多地方形式，通常很难为儿童神分配准确的身份，但在这里，双冠和底座上的铭文将神识别为Harpokrates（荷鲁斯之子），他是奥西里斯和伊西斯的儿子。白色牙冠前部的一个小突起显示了牙冠前部螺旋断裂的位置。这顶王室王冠象征着下埃及和上埃及的统一，并突出了荷鲁斯作为整个国家合法统治者的角色以及他与国王的直接联系。铭文将捐赠者命名为Horwedja。
介绍（英）	The figure represents a child god in a striding/standing position, wearing the double crown, which alludes to his royal status. The child god is distinguished from adult gods by a range of iconographic clues: his nudity, the finger raised to the mouth (a child-like gesture), and the sidelock on the right side of his head. The sidelock was separately cast and mechanically attached using a small pin, which is still visible near the head. Silver inlay, meanwhile, highlights his eyes and the amulet on his chest. The amulet is suspended on a string that knots at the back of the neck, and it is a common attribute for child gods. 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. Because of their profusion and many local forms, generally it is very difficult to assign precise identities to child gods, but here the double crown and an inscription on the base identify the god as Harpokrates (Horus the Child), who was the son of Osiris and Isis. A small protrusion at the front of the white crown shows where the front spiral broke off of the crown. This royal crown symbolizes the union of Lower and Upper Egypt, and highlights Horus’ role as the legitimate ruler of the entire land and his direct association with the king. The inscription names the donor as Horwedja.
