- Description
-
Temple relief fragment of the god Khnum: Khnum is shown with one arm extended embracing a king, of whom only the shoulder is preserved. Khnum was also holding an 'ankh' sign to the king's face; the long base of the looped symbol can still be seen between his thumb and fingers. The horns can be seen to arise from the top of the god's head, below his divine 'atef' crown.
