Faience vessel decorated with a depiction of the god Heh, from tomb 61, Enkomi, Cyprus. The vase is made in the form of a closed lotus flower and decorated with a picture of Heh. The first meaning of "Heh" was "millions", but heh was transformed into the Egyptian god of infinity by association with symbols for year and for rebirth. The god is shown in his ususal guise as a kneeling man holding notched palm ribs in each hand. GR, 1897.4-1.999.
