Quite a rare type of amulet. In a light blue faience, a child god seated, wearing his sidelock of youth and the Hemhem crown. Holding a slightly indistinct sceptre. Pierced for suspension. This is either a representation of the child god Khonsu or Harpokrates despite not having his finger in his mouth . It is essentially impossible to say for certain which . Khonsu is usually shown wearing the headdress of horns and moon disk but is sometimes shown wearing other crowns including the Atef crown. But this is of course the triple Atef crown also called the "hemhem" crown which Khonsu does not usually wear but Hapokrates does. However Khonsu was often associated or identified with Harpokrates, both gods being children and both bearing the epithet pa-khered " (the younger") since the later part of the New Kingdom. As a result Khonsu was occasionally also shown with the attributes of Harpokrates. 30mm Probably Third Intermediate Period, circa 900 BC |
