middle of the vessel stands Horus of Be1).det, great god, lord of Mesen, who with his right hand thrusts his harpoon into the snout of a hippopotamus. In his left hand he holds the ends of two ropes which are doubtless attached to the blades already lodged in the animal's body.a Isis squatting in the bow holds two similar ropes. On shore, facing the ship, is the King-wearing the head-dress of Onurisb-who harpoons the hippopotamus in the back of the head. Behind the King are two running men, each carrying a harpoon and a dagger.
