Antigo Egito, Pré-dinástico Terracota Figura de Deus Hapocrates. Séculos III a.C. a I a.C. Altura: 8,5 cm. 'Heritage Collection'.

Figure of the God Harpocrates Ancient Egypt, Hellenistic Period, 3rd-1st century BC. Terracotta Height 8.5 cm Provenance: Private collection, France. The collector lived and worked in Egypt between the first two World Wars (1914 - 1945), acquiring and collecting different objects. Sold by his heirs in 2022. CONDITION: Good Conditon, see photos. DESCRIPTION: A large Alexandrian head of Harpocrates. Harpocrates (Ancient Greek: Ἁρποκράτης) was the god of silence, secrets and confidentiality in the Hellenistic religion developed in Ptolemaic Alexandria (and also an embodiment of hope, according to Plutarch). Harpocrates was adapted by the Greeks from the Egyptian child god Horus, who represented the newborn sun, rising each day at dawn. Harpocrates's name was a Hellenization of the Egyptian Har-pa-khered or Heru-pa-khered, meaning "Horus the Child". Hellenistic sculpture was the type in the final period of the evolution of Greek sculpture. It developed in the period between the death of Alexander the Great in 323BC, and the conquest of Egypt by the Romans, between 30 and 31 BC. It was of an eclectic, secular and historicist style, taking the legacy of the classical sculpture of the previous period as its point of departure, and adding new oriental influences to this. It also meant the perfection of the depiction of anatomical details and of the expression of human emotions, as well as a fundamental change in aesthetics, relinquishing idealistic representation and putting individual representation in its place, thus passing from the generic to the specific. Notes: The piece includes authenticity certificate. The piece includes Spanish Export License (Passport for European Union) - If the piece is destined outside the European Union a substitution of the export permit should be requested. This process could take between 1 and 2 months.
