English: Relief from the pyramid temple of Userkaf, now in the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities in Cairo. The scene includes a butterfly and a variety of birds: "a hovering pied kingfisher, a green kingfisher facing a grey heron, a hoopoe facing a purple water-hen, a sacred ibis… and in the lowest part the head of a bittern" (The Egyptian Museum in Cairo by Abeer el-Shahawy, 2005). The relief would have been part of a hunting scene symbolizing the king's role as the establisher of order. The life in the papyrus thicket may also allude to the role of the sun god Ra in creating life on earth. Fifth Dynasty, 25th century BC.
