Mnevis is often depicted as a black bull wearing a solar disk and uraeus.

[2] The Mnevis bull was entitled to two concubines, more precisely two cows representing Hathor and Iusaaset.

When the bull died, he was embalmed and buried with all honours in a dedicated necropolis which was located not far from the temple at Heliopolis.

[2] Another burial ground was reserved for the so-called Mothers of Mnevis, which were considered the embodiment of the cow-goddess Hesat.

[2] The cult of Mnevis was among the very few to be tolerated during the "Amarna heresy" of King Akhenaten, probably because of its solar attributes.
