Lion-Headed Harmiysis and Worshipper
Lion-Headed Harmiysis stands with left foot advanced; both feet are placed on a low relief depicting a dead antelope with legs bound. Harmiysis wears the double crown of Upper and Lower Egypt and a royal kilt; he holds a sickle-shaped sword and a sham staff in his hands. A shaven-headed priest kneels in front of the god and raises his hands in worship. The god and priest are joined to the separately made pedestal.
