Cf. B.T. Trope et al., Excavating Egypt: Great Discoveries from the Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology, Michael C. Carlos Museum, 2005, p. 170, no. 132, which shows a complete 'ibex' vase, "The ibex was another symbol of rebirth, perhaps because of the mother's extended period of care for her offspring."
