Children were one of the most common subjects during the Hellenistic period. This example, likely from Egypt, depicts a boy, perhaps the god Harpokrates. He is depicted nude but for a narrow himation worn diagonally over his left shoulder. In his left hand he supports a large jar.
For a related figure, seated, likewise wearing a narrow himation and holding a jar of similar form, see no. EA20727 in the British Museum.
