It features a recumbent lion, a symbol of solar power and royal protection, positioned above a crocodile (representing the god Sobek), master of the Nile and fertility. This combination of protective symbols, complemented by an upright cobra (Uraeus), was intended to grant its wearer absolute authority and protection against the forces of chaos, both on land and water. A piece of rare spiritual intensity, showcasing the powerful apotropaic magic of Ancient Egypt.
