Portrait Bust with Inscription, A.D. 100-115. Additional Info: On this portrait bust of a very young child, the eyes are unarticulated, cheeks full, lips slightly compressed, and chin is small but firm. The hair is cut short above the brow in bangs that resemble those of the emperor Trajan (ruled AD 98-117) and thus provide an approximate date for the sculpture. The braided "lock of Horus" above the right ear is a Roman adaptation of the Egyptian coiffure indicating youth. It was often worn by Horus, the god of kingship, when he was represented as a child.
