Banner top with ram-headed aegis

Miniature banner top with ram-headed aegis. The ram has a headdress, which might represent a flower or an atef-crown, topped with a solar disc. The horns are curved downwards. A stylized wesekh-collar is present below the ram head. The aegis rests on a tube which widens towards the bottom and terminates with a band in relief. The object is made in the lost-wax technique for solid casts.
