Facing him, cynocephalus with paws raised as in adoration. On r. end of boat, a bird, on l., a siren (human‑headed bird) — the cutting is not very distinct, but there can be little doubt of the lapidary's intention. Compare the siren on the Michigan fragment, No. 382 below, and the stone published by Delatte, Muséee Belge, 18, Pl. 2, 10.

Obv. Harpocrates seated to l. on lotus flower in papyrus boat. Plume on head, r. hand raised to lips, l. resting on l. knee. R. leg extended, left drawn up on the lotus.
