The goddess Hathor appears in the form of a cow surrounded by papyrus reeds. A young prince, representing the god Horus, kneels and suckles from her udder. The statue is painted white except for the young prince, who is painted dark brown.

A gold oval disk with a reflective surface forms the mirror itself. Two Hathor faces separate the mirror from the shaft, which is a column that is shaped like a papyrus.

The mirror consists of a thick gilt disk that bulges in the center. The handle takes the shape of a small papyrus-shaped column topped with the disk and two falcons of Horus perched with their beaks facing out.

This relief was discovered in the funerary temple of King Userkaf. It depicts a flock of birds in papyrus marshes.
