Description | Back of wings plain, as is head. Rectangular area between wings on back probably where attached, also nape of neck flat as if against something. Stands with legs very straight and together as is common in the Harpocrates amulets. Lots of detail on wings, fingers, toes and face. Very chubby cheeks which makes head pear-shaped. Hair in ringlets at side of head. Right leg and foot bigger than left. Head turned slightly to the left. |
