His head is crowned with the solar disk and encircled with a nimbus and seven double rays. A small cynocephalus is standing below his right foot, with right paw raised in adoration, on the top of his head a solar disk. On the right, facing Harpocrates: a standing goddess with the atef-crown on her head, holding the hieroglyph 'ankh' in her right hand, lotus scepter in her left hand; on the left: a goddess wearing the hemhem-crown, holding lotus scepter in her right hand, the hieroglyph 'sa' (Bonner: the hieroglyph 'ankh') in her left hand (both wearing long garments).
