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

The bronze statuette depicts the god Amun, recognisable by the ram's head emerging from behind, in a composite form: on the ram's head are two large ram's horns, flanked by two urèi and surmounted by two tall feathers, with the representation of the Atef crown and the head of the god Bes, wearing the typical feathered headdress. In an incised position, Amun has his arms folded forward and was holding two sceptres, now lost. An additional pair of arms extends from the shoulders, open at the sides, under which are two large spread wings. At the junction of the shoulders are a baboon's head and a bull's head at the front, and a lion's head and a ram's head at the back. Finally, the back of the god is covered by a falcon with spread wings.
