'Harpokrates' is the Hellenized version of the Egyptian name Hor-pa-khered, or Horus the child.  He is the image of sovereignty, but also of promise for the future and hope. 

The god is depicted as a naked child.  He wears the side-lock of youth and the double crown.  He sits, unsupported, in the characterisitc pose of Horus-the-Child, knees bent as if he were on his mother's lap.  The statue is corroded, but still quite solid.  Traces of gold remain, particularly on the crown.

This small votive object could have been taken to Meroe by Meroites returning after a stay in Egypt, or have been sent to the temple as a gift from the Egyptian rulers.
