A: Frontal view of four-winged Bes-masked Pantheos, standing on a double ground line (originally for an Ouroboros-cartouche?), feet to right. Head topped with the atef crown, complete with solar disk, uraei and ram's horns, face framed by three animal protomes on each side. Apparently without arms, three was-scepters are visible behind the wings. The figure is ithyphallic, a bird's tail and a crocodile's tail project from the hips to the left.
