Reverse description The river god Nilus reclines to the left in a languid pose, his body partially draped, holding a tall reed in one hand and a cornucopia in the other, symbolizing the river's life-giving abundance. A crocodile, the sacred animal of the Nile, crouches beside him. In the field before the figure, a domed structure is depicted, possibly representing a nilometer or sacred building. Water plants fill the lower exergual area, evoking the marshy banks of the Nile. The regnal year date L Γ (Year 3) appears in the field.
