Notes
The drawing by Maspero (below) shows only two decanal figures, two decan (or figure) names, and no decanal deity names nor figures. This is therefore one of the most abbreviated of the Astronomical Representations, to the point where it almost can be considered as transitional between a "representation" format and a "procession" format. We choose to present it as the former because of the inclusion of four circumpolar deities.
