Sagittarius and its Decan Constellations.

Corona Australis

 

    On the Denderah Zodiac there is no representation for Corona Australis.    It seems to be the only one that I have not been able to find, unless it is just one of the crowns on one of the other figures on the zodiac, such as Ara, or even the one on the head of Sagittarius.
    Corona Australis would not be seen as a netjeru since it is an inanimate object worn to represent royalty.

    As to the figure seen in the image below, where it is above the head of Ophiuchus and Libra.    It is a small figure of a man seated on a throne with his right arm extended and holding an object, which is hard to see, but could be a flail.    The jackal on the circle around Libra would seem more likely to be Centaurus, leaving the small figure setting on the throne above Ophiuchus to be Corona (Corona Australis).
    I have no problem with this small figure of a man seated on a throne with his right arm extended and holding an unknown object as being Corona Australis, since this figure is unidentified with any other specific constellation.
    If this is the case as being Corona Australis and is seen as a netjeru in a human form, therefore it represents a spiritual understanding.
