Note Perhaps also DS7690-7691 (numbers altered to 7691-7692 on DS pl. 84), although they have no altar and it’s not clear if the head is veiled. The placing of DS7690-7691 on DS pl. 86 is between Hermanubis-Hygieia (?) and then Isis, suggesting (alphabetically) that Dattari may have identified the figure as Homonoia; but Homonoia usually holds a double cornucopia. But the corn ears suggest Demeter, as on year 11.
