He is standing within a shrine with a cobra frieze, surrounded by several gods and one goddess - his guardians as well as his crew. Again he is seated on the sacred snake. Three birds behind him represent some of the solar gods. The enemies of light are shown smitten to the ground with their heads cut off or arms bound, a deity in each section resisting them with various torments.
