Uto Nursing the Child Horus
The lion-headed goddess Uto would have held the child Horus in her lap, as 54.2076, and likely would have had a sun-disc on her head, though both are missing. She is seated on a low-backed throne with a Horus-falcon depicted on the back as well as papyrus plants on the sides and back.
