Beneath a winged sun-disc, Darius I (521-486 BC) is depicted as pharaoh, offering to the jackal-headed god Anubis. The goddess Isis stands behind, shown wearing cow-horns.
The hieroglyphic labels identify the three figures, with Darius written out in phonetic hieroglyphs within the oval cartouche – a motif traditionally reserved for Egyptian kings and Queens.
