| Reverse description | Harpocrates, the Egyptian child deity of silence and secrets, seated to the left atop a blossoming lotus flower, raising his right index finger to his lips in the traditional gesture of silence, while holding a plant — likely a cornucopia or papyrus stem — in his left hand. The figure is rendered in the syncretic Greco-Egyptian style characteristic of Alexandrian provincial bronzes. The regnal year date appears in the field in Greek characters. The composition reflects the Alexandrian mint's well-established practice of combining classical portraiture with indigenous Egyptian religious iconography. |
