A: Four-winged Bes-Pantheos standing to front, feet to right, on an Ouroboros forming a cartouche, which encloses four notches to indicate animals. Four animal-protomes project from the sides of the head, which is topped by a crown (atef?). The deity has two pairs of wings and arms: the upper arms – in line with the top of the upper wings and almost at the height of the neck – are stretched to the sides. In the lower right arm: a scorpion, and a bird (?), in the lower left arm: two knives held behind the back. Behind the wings: one scepter on the left, two scepters on the right. A double strap crosses the chest in X-shape, a bird’s tail and a crocodile’s tail project from the hips to the left of the body.
B: Plain.
