Star-Spangled Deities: Nut, Cows and Celestial Figures
A large outlined bull-like animal sits below smaller celestial designs, while a star-covered cow occupies the upper field. A tall figure, an arching sky form and smaller animals complete the comparison. The source names the plate Star-Spangled Deities and identifies the sky goddess Nut in its explanation. The whole design compares several forms rather than depicting one isolated bull.
