The bull-headed god of Heliopolis striding forward on an integral plinth, his right arm raised, his left arm forward, the fisted hand once holding a now-missing attribute, depicted wearing a striated tripartite wig and clad in a belted striated kilt.
A mythological text from the Delta (Brooklyn papyrus 47.218.84, §5) accords to Mnevis the role of transporting the gathered members of Osiris from Athribis to Heliopolis, a journey in the course of which Osiris is reconstituted. Something more akin to incarnation than transportation is suggested.
Compare with the example in the Collection Resandro, no. 9 in Schoske and Wildung, Gott und Götter im Alten Ägypten.
