Rectangular fragment, with shrine of Apis bull on a wheeled barque. Showing the Apis bull travelling on a barque: underneath the shire are rollers to enable the heavy weight to move. Priests usually carried statues of gods. Theh bull was seen to be a living embodiment of the god Ptah and so had to be transported as any other god.
