Similar images have been found in wall paintings of the reception hall of palatine complexes, typically flanking or facing the enthronement area. In their regality and power, suggested on this head by the jeweled headdress, they conveyed the very essence of rulership and authority in the visual arts of the Great Seljuqs and their successor states.

Crouching child god holding scepter. Dimensions: H. 3.8 cm (1 1/2 in.); W. 1.7 cm (11/16 in.); D. 2.3 cm (7/8 in.)H. (with tang): 4.3 cm (1 11/16 in.). Date: 664-30 B.C..The figure represents a child god in a squatting position. He holds the crook which alludes to his royal status, and he once wore a crown, which is now broken. The child god is distinguished from adult gods by a range of iconographic clues: his nudity, the finger raised to the mouth (a child-like gesture), and the thick sidelock. Often child gods in this position sit on lotus buds, a flower whose imagery resonates with the associations of rebirth and regeneration attributed to child gods.Child gods grew in popularity and cult from the Third Intermediate Period onwards, rivaling even the most powerful and ancient gods, especially as temple offerings. The best known is Horus the Child (Harpokrates), who was the son of Isis and Osiris, but many others existed, including Khonsu the Child, Ihy, and Harsiese, among others
