Summary
This small stele (an upright stone slab with an inscription or image) is an amulet inscribed with magical spells to ward off stings and bites from deadly animals and insects-representing wild nature and chaos. The nude figure is the god Horus the Child, clutching a scorpion and a lion in one hand and snakes and an antelope in the other while he stands on two crocodiles. The head of the protective god Bes above Horus strengthens the magical power of this stele.
