Inlay of the hieroglyphic sign "heh" meaning "millions of years". Dimensions: H. 14.9 cm (5 7/8 in.); W. 10.1 cm (4 in.); D. 1.1 cm (7/16 in.). Date: 4th century B.C.. This inlay depicts the god Heh. Heh is a god associated with the primeval ocean, the supports of the sky, and - associated with concepts of extent - can serve as the hieroglyph for a "million". The notched reed that topped his head, and that symbolized the counting and passage of years, has broken away leaving only a small stem.
