The body encircled by a frieze band depicting various fragments of the Dendera temple zodiac reliefs, including the wedded twin gods Shu and Tefnut holding hands, followed by a procession of various other deities, descending to lower geometric bands, raised atop a fluted socle in a depressed bowl, the everted rim with a band of winged scarabs and sun discs issuing serpents, the whole in brass.
