Cippus (magical stela) where Pataikos replaces Horus on the crocodiles and is flanked by Isis and Nephthys

Cippus (magical stela) where Pataikos replaces Horus on the crocodiles and is flanked by Isis and Nephthys. Dimensions: H 7.7 cm (3 1/16 in); w. 5.5 cm (2 3/16 in); d. 2.5 (1 in). Date: ca. 1070-525 BC.
On most cippi or magical stelae, an image of the infant Horus on the front beneath a Bes-image is shown subduing dangerous animals. The Metternich Stela (acc. 50.85) is the largest and most elaborate example of the genre.
This faience cippus is a variant where Pataikos replaces the Horus child and stands on the crocodiles usually trodden by Horus the child. On either shoulder figure Ba birds, Isis and Nephthys stand at either side, and on the back Maat spreads her wings in projection.
