Good point. There are surviving images with similar details from other Isis / Serapis temples outside Egypt suggesting it was common if not universal practice.

Oh this is fascinating! Thanks, Simon. That then raises questions as to when and where this practice kicks in, as no such thing is going on in the older Egyptian reliefs. Very interesting stuff!
