For a discussion of the imagery of the deity Khonsu as a royal child, identified with Horus, that describes him as "the rejuvenated child who acts as heir and savior of the world," see Cruz-Uribe, "The Khonsu Cosmogony," in JARCE 31, pp. 169-189.

According to a hand-written note, the inscription on this ring was first translated for the Greene's by Dr. Ludlow Bull (1886-1954), associate curator at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in the Department of Egyptian Art.
