Ra is the great god of the Sun, and it is he who sails across the sky, causing it to rise in the east and set in the west. His beak is of emerald, and his skin is of a natural flesh tone. His eyes are as burning coals, and upon his head rests a solar disk of red with a yellow serpent surrounding it. This is mounted upon a red nemyss that is bordered with emerald. Around his waist, Ra wears an emerald wrap cloth, belt and purse. He wears upon his wrist and ankles emerald bands stripped with red, and the same coloring applies for his collar. In his left hand, he bears a green phoenix wand and a green ankh in his right.
