Statue of a Man and Latus The Sacred Fish.

Statue of a Man and Latus The Sacred Fish.

This statue shows a man sitting in a high-backed chair with his left leg forward in a position similar to those of seated gods in low-reliefs. He is wearing the Nemes headdress and the Shendyt kilt, and holds a long snake in both hands.

On a high base to the right, the fins and the tail remain of what was once Latus, the sacred fish. A column of hieroglyphics is inscribed between these two figures the man and the fish.
