Min statuette

Standing figure of Min-Amun-Kamutef. The god is wearing a crown composed of a flat top headdress, similar to the base of the red crown, with two tall feathers with a solar disc, which is barely visible. The god has a false beard. There is a thick suspension loop on the back of the neck. The right arm is raised, and the hand is broken. The left arm is at his side and the hand held the now-missing phallus. The buttocks are indicated, the legs are short and separated by a shallow groove. The feet are joined and not defined. The figure is mounted on a modern wooden base. The object is made in the lost-wax technique for solid casts.
