Synopsis

This picture shows Ra the sun god in one of his many forms with the head of a falcon and the body of a man. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up.

He is standing with his head and legs facing to the right, so only one eye can be seen. His arms and chest are facing forward. At the top of the page Ra is wearing the Uraeus, a headdress symbolising the goddess Wadjit in the form of a cobra with its head to the right, draped over the sun-disc. Down the page from this is Ra's falcon head with its one visible eye and beak to the right with his long hair to the left. He is wearing a wide ornamental Egyptian collar.

In the middle of the page is Ra's chest facing forward with a hand on the left pointing down and holding an Ankh. His other hand, on the right holds the staff of life. He wears two bracelets on each of his arms and a gold band around his chest. Around his waist is a short kilt reaching down to his knees and down from this can be found two anklets with his feet below them pointing to the right.
