介绍（中）	在哈索柱撑起的一条乌雷饰带下，一张牛脸向外张望。头部安装在项圈上，形成一个神盾，动物戴着一个圆盘和两个卷曲羽毛的长直角。同样安装在神盾项圈上的还有两个向内转向牛的uraei。在中央单元的侧面还有另外两个巨大的、冠有圆盘和角的乌雷。背面有四个允许安装的大环胸肌属于一组，似乎与神圣的阿庇斯公牛和阿庇斯牛的母亲有关；有些牛，虽然不是这一种，但实际上带有阿庇斯人的三角形前额标记，尽管戴的皇冠通常与女性女神有关。一位学者注意到，正面图像和结构的关联表明了阿庇斯人或阿庇斯之母生活中的一个事件。乌雷乌斯（uraeus）雕带和哈索（Hathor）柱形成的天篷类似于滚动的神殿，在那里，已故阿庇斯（Apis）的木乃伊被护送埋葬。或者，该结构可能代表一只蜜蜂的外观，在一只新的圣兽被牧师认可后，首次被引导出来展示。类似地，头部作为神盾的一部分出现-在女神中更常见，但不限于女神-可能暗示一位新的阿庇斯之母，被伊希斯同化，在安装新的舵手时出现以供奉。
介绍（英）	Beneath a frieze of uraei held up by Hathor columns, a bovine face peers out. The head is mounted on a collar to form an aegis, and the animal wears a disk and long straight horns with two curling plumes. Also mounted on the aegis collar are two uraei that turn inward toward the bovine. Two other large uraei crowned with disk and horns flank the central unit. On the back are four large rings that would permit mounting. The pectoral belongs to a group that seems to be associated with the sacred Apis bull and the Mother of Apis cow; some of the bovines, although not this one, actually bear the triangular forehead marking of the Apis, although the crown worn is usually associated with a female goddess. A scholar has noted that the association of the frontal image and the structure suggest an event in the life of the Apis or the Mother of Apis. The canopy formed by the uraeus frieze and the Hathor columns resembles the rolling shrine in which the mummy of a deceased Apis is escorted to burial. Alternatively, the structure might represent the appearance of an Apis, led out and displayed for the first time after a new holy animal has been recognized by the priests. Similarly the appearance of the head as part of an aegis - more common among but not restricted to goddesses - might suggest a new Mother of Apis, assimilated to Isis, appearing for veneration at the time a new steer was installed.
