Similar to the Amarna style and emerging from an open lotus flower. The base is painted blue to represent the water the flower is growing in. It is a powerful symbol because the lotus flower closes and shrinks at dusk and opens again at dawn, facing east to greet the rising sun. Thus, the symbol of the emerging lotus is a symbol of the sun, which is renewed every morning after its nocturnal journey to the regions of the underworld and back to life.
