The moon disk, sidelock, and close-fitting mummiform garment identifies him as Khonsu the Child, the son of the deities Amun and Mut, who together formed the great Theban triad. The sidelock worn just below the moon disk marks him as a child god. Child gods grew to great prominence in the first millennium BC, and many statuettes of such gods were produced beginning in the Third Intermediate Period through the Ptolemaic Period.
