Inlay of the hieroglyphic sign "heh" meaning "millions of years"
Late Period–Ptolemaic Period
This inlay depicts the god Heh. Heh is a god associated with the primeval ocean, the supports of the sky, and - associated with concepts of extent - can serve as the hieroglyph for a "million".
The notched reed that topped his head, and that symbolized the counting and passage of years, has broken away leaving only a small stem.
