Description
The patron deities of ancient Samannud, the war and air god Onuris-Shu and his lioness-headed mate, Mehyet, are shown enthroned on the outer face of this block. Originally, a king would have stood before them presenting offerings. Both gods hold an ankh (life symbol) and a scepter: his is the was scepter (symbolizing prosperity and dominion), hers is a papyrus scepter. On the inner face of the block, a king presents a floral offering to the divine couple, but only part of Onuris-Shu's figure remains.
