Ramesses II makes an offering of two nu-pots to Re-Horakhty. Nu-pots were small round vessels which, when inverted, were likened to the bowl of the sky, Nut. Re-Horakhty is one of the forms of Re, the sun god, and is identified as a god with a human body and falcon head who wears a crown in the form of a sun disc surrounded by a cobra, or a crown made from ran horns and ostrich feathers. This scene is based on a wall carving at Abu Simbel.
