Bronze statuette of the god Amun in the form of a composite deity. Front side.

The bronze statuette depicts the god Amun in a composite form: the front side shows the human face with the crown, on which two wide ram's horns are inserted, flanked by two urèi and surmounted by two tall feathers, representing the solar disc. In an incised position, Amun has his arms folded forward and was holding two sceptres, now lost. An additional pair of arms extends from his shoulders, open sideways, beneath which are two large spread wings. At the junction of the shoulders are found at the front a baboon head and a bull's head, and at the back a lion and a ram's head.
