The nude youth, son of Isis and Osiris, is depicted characteristically standing with his forefinger raised to his lips. Although originally an Egyptian deity, in later times he takes on various attributes from classical deities; here he is holding a laden cornucopia, usually the attribute of Fortuna representing fertility and fecundity, in the crook of his other arm.
