This figure is that of Harpocrates the son of Isis (a moon and fertility goddess) and Sarapis (god of the sky and death) and is a very rare find in Britain. The winged boy figure shows his index finger touching his lips which the Romans interpreted as self-nourishment or symbolic of silence. No date range given but probably 2-3rd century.
