It is one of the portraits we call Fayum portraits, after the region of Egypt where many were found.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt that time many children died young, and parents tried to protect them with magic: amulets hung round the neck, like the one the boy wears on a black cord, and sacred hairstyles. A shaved head with one long lock behind the ear marked children entrusted to Isis, because it recalled Horus, the goddess's infant son. The portrait, held in the Getty Museum in Los Angeles, tells us that this was not always enough. It is also a very small panel, even for a child.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a bedroom it brings home the gaze of a boy whose parents tried with all their strength to protect him.
