The deity Horus is one of the most important gods mentioned in the Osirian myth. He was a symbol of goodness and generosity and has been associated with the ruler of Egypt since the beginning of ancient Egyptian history. Horus the Child (Harpocrates) is considered as one of the god Horus forms and a member of the Alexandria Triad. His worship and symbolism spread during the Græco-Roman period and was frequently depicted in minor arts; among these are uncommon artistic styles that appeared during the Græco-Roman period, represented by the depiction of the child Horus riding various animals such as camel, elephant, lion, horse, ram, dog, serpent and goose. This forms the core of the research idea in which the light will be sheds on the most important aspects of these figurines, the reasons that led the artist to choose these animals, their origins in ancient Egyptian culture, and presents the significance of these animals and their connection to Harpocrates until the end of the Græco-Roman period.
