介绍（中）	该图代表一位坐着/斜倚着的儿童神，戴着双羽毛王冠，这将他与阿蒙神联系在一起。儿童神通常通过一系列图像线索与成人神区分开来：他的裸体、手指举到嘴边（一种类似儿童的手势）和头部右侧的侧锁。这个人物的右臂断了，因此手的位置是未知的；很可能是握在他的嘴上或侧面，就像左臂一样。侧锁也没有出现在证据中，但他的裸体足以证明他是儿童神。在他的胸脯下面，这位儿童神有两个风格化的胖卷，这在这些类型的小雕像上是非常罕见的。然而，许多儿童神的肚子都是圆的或胖乎乎的，显示了神带来繁荣和富足的能力；这些肥卷表达了同样的想法从第三个中期开始，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。由于其丰富多彩和许多地方形式，通常很难为儿童神分配准确的身份，但基座上的铭文将这一人物命名为梅迪尼特的荷鲁斯。
介绍（英）	The figure represents a child god in a seated/reclining position, wearing the double feather crown, which associates him with the god Amun. The child god is usually distinguished from adult gods by a range of iconographic clues: his nudity, the finger raised to the mouth (a child-like gesture), and a sidelock on the right side of his head. The right arm of this figure is broken, and thus the position of the hand is unknown; likely it was held at his mouth or at his side, like the left arm. The sidelock also is not in evidence, but his nudity suffices for identification as a child god. Below his pectorals, the child god has two stylized fat rolls, a feature that is very uncommon on these types of statuettes. Nevertheless, many child gods are shown with rounded or chubby bellies, showcasing the god’s ability to bring about prosperity and abundance; these fat rolls express the same ideas. 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. Because of their profusion and many local forms, generally it is very difficult to assign precise identities to child gods, but an inscription on the base names this figure as Horus of Mednit.
