The god is seen here taking on the form of a ram, wearing a striated tripartite wig and sun disc fronted by an uraeus. The uraeus itself, in turn, wears horns and a disc, all surmounting an elaborate broad collar with two perforations near the base of the collar. The details of the face, wig, and broad collar are all sensitively rendered with spellbinding precision.
