Source Description
This image may show Khonsu as a child, due to the inscription on the base, although the boy is shown in a manner typically identified as that of Horus the child (Harpokrates). The child wears the double crown of Upper and Lower Egypt, with a sidelock of youth on one side of his head. He holds his right finger to his lips in a typical gesture of childhood, while his left fist is held down at his side.
