The inscription on the base of this statuette indicates that it represents the god Sematawy, 'he who unites the two lands'. This falcon deity from Herakleopolis Magna is known since the Old Kingdom; beginning in the 3rd Intermediate Period his aspect as a child deity is depicted in the same way as that of Harpocrates, the child deity above all others. He is seated on a throne, holding his finger to his mouth. He wears the royal nemes headdress, on top of which is the so-called 'hemhem' crown. On his chest is a heart-shaped amulet.
