介绍（中）	美丽的蓝色青金石雕像代表一个坐着/斜躺着的孩子神，就像他被抱在母亲的腿上一样。这个孩子与成年神灵的区别在于图像线索：他的裸体和头部右侧浓密的鬓角，这是童年的标志。对这个小人物的详细处理是值得注意的：大眼睛，微笑的嘴巴，从头上自然生长的茂盛的锁，让人联想到美丽有前途的孩子，而圆润的腹部和突出的阴茎暗示着他带来繁荣和富足的能力。从第三中间时期开始，儿童神越来越受欢迎和崇拜，甚至可以与最强大和最古老的神相媲美，尤其是作为寺庙祭品。最著名的是小荷鲁斯（Harpokrates），他是伊西斯和奥西里斯的儿子，但还有许多其他人存在，包括小子孔苏、伊希和哈西塞斯等。因此，如果没有相关的铭文，很难为这个小雕像分配一个准确的身份。
介绍（英）	The beautiful blue lapis lazuli figure represents a child god in a seated/reclining position, as he would have been held on his mother's lap. The child is distinguished from an adult gods by iconographic clues: his nudity and the thick sidelock on the right side of his head that is a sign of childhood. The detailed treatment of this small figure is notable: large eyes, smiling mouth, and the luxuriant lock growing naturally from his head evoke the beautiful promising child, while the rounded belly and prominent penis hint at his ability to bring about prosperity and abundance. Child gods grew in popularity and cult from the Third Intermediate Period onwards, rivaling even the most powerful and ancient gods, especially as temple offerings. The best known is Horus the Child (Harpokrates), who was the son of Isis and Osiris, but many others existed, including Khonsu the Child, Ihy, and Harsiese, among others. Thus it is difficult to assign a precise identity to this statuette without an associated inscription.
