This was quite an unexpected Set sighting! I was wearing my Set pendent today to honor him, and this cool effect happened as the sun shone upon it when I was entering our apartment. The red background is the patio door that's been recently painted. Here is the shiny pendent that did it:

As you can tell by its size relative to the shirt button, it is not a large pendent. Yet the reflected image was easily three inches across. The ears in the original image kind of resemble the crown of a peacock, with the dividing lines of plumage, so that area didn't reflect like the smoother areas.

One of Set's official titles, as in, the ancient Egyptians called him this, is 'Great Red Lord'. Also, there is some speculation regarding the origin of his name:

(from)
http://www.per-set.org/bs-eset.html:

"There is another theory as to what His name might mean. Two Egyptian words bear a striking resemblance to the name: one is setes (meaning pillar, stabilizing staff etc.), the other means "dazzle" and is commonly written as setken."

I certainly found this special effect 'dazzling'!
