From a private collection formed in the Netherlands; previously in a European collection formed prior to 1980. The cults of Harpocrates, which found meagre favour in Ptolemaic times, expanded considerably in the Imperial period, involving fusions with the ram of Mendes, the ithyphallic Min, the crocodile-god Sebek, and with Hercules.
