First,the cat,Ra,cutting off the head of a serpent represents the slaying of the dragon of Darkness. Second is Ani and his wife adoring the scarab-headed sun-god Chepera seated in the solar bark with two cynocephali,spirits of dawn,raising their hands in adoration. Before them is the eye of the returning sun. Next is the god Tmu,the closer of the day,seated within the solar disk in the Solar Bark.
