Perhaps GIZA serves as an oblique reference to Nectanebo II, who, according to some accounts, began his reign in 361 B.C. (a number that occurs in the central panel), and according to others in 360.

The small figure of Nectanebo stands between the great talons, wearing a nemes headcloth and uraeus.
The statue can be read as a rebus for Nakht-Hor-heb, the Egyptian form of one of Nectanebo's names—his bent arm with the sword represents the hieroglyph nakht, the falcon represents Hor (Horus), and the hieroglyph in the king's right hand is heb.
The statue follows the late Dynastic period tradition of depicting animal images in hard stone with remarkably naturalistic details in head and feet, while the body and wings are simplified renderings of the bird's natural form.
