could it represent fertility and birth?
that bit "below" could depict an emerging infant, head downwards???

Thank you Stefany,

That could be a distinct possibility, sort of a fertility goddess.

Another thought I had was that it might be a Priapus figure and the part below was the enormous body part that he is typically equipped with.

I am still leaning toward Bes, since he (or sometimes she) is typically shown with a tall feather crown or headdress. Maybe he is standing on something or it was just filler.

Anybody else have a comment please.

I am barely making out a tiny head with outstretched arms emerging between the legs, head first, - unless my Old eyes are deceiving me also- always possible. The "woman" seems to have her hands up by her face...

Hi Anne,

I am beginning to think you both maybe right, I w ill do some more searching for a Goddess of childbirth although it is said that Bes is used as protection in childbirth as well and there is a feminine side of Bes as well.

Thank you for your input,

Jan

Same Arm position- but doesn't have "two" crocodiles:
