DESCRIPTIVE DATA
----------------
object type: Faience scarab inscribed on the base with standing male figure holding two cobras in his hands and with two additional snakes eminating from his shoulders. It is possible that this is a representation of horrus Cippus- a popular deity in the Late Period who appears brandishing snakes. An alternative interpretation of the two figures near the shoulders are that they represent sceptres- this is a known type dated, cautiously, to the Second Intermediate Period.
