Detail of the Amduat papyrus of Tadimut. I think this does a good job of showing the bivalent nature of snakes in Egyptian mythology; there is everything from the ureai that guard the oars of the sky and the eye of Horus to a huge Apophis slashed up with knives.
Where: Egyptian Museum Cairo
When: Third Intermediate Period, 21st Dynasty
