Nekhbet, the white vulture, Mother of Mothers, patron godess and protector of Upper Egypt is flanked by the cobra Wadjet and the cat Baast , patron protectors of  Lower Egypt. They sail the sacred barge on the cosmic river through the constellation of Orion, realm  of Osiris.

(...and yes I KNOW  I've shown Wadjet's hair comprising  rattlesnakes rather than cobras, but  I  claim  some artistic license as hiding the rattles chops off the tails in a very odd way !  ... the background image IS however of Orion )
