Description
Horus the Child stands on crocodiles and controls snakes, scorpions, an oryx, and a lion. Called a "cippus," this is a magical device believed to ward off poisonous and dangerous animals and to heal those who had been bitten or stung. Liquid would be poured over the "cippus" to absorb the strength of the images and spells and then be drunk by, or poured on, the afflicted.
