Amun statuette

Standing figure of Amun, striding with left leg forward. The god is wearing a crown composed of a flat top headdress, similar to the base of the red crown, with a deep indentation on the top, probably to insert the now missing feathers. Amun has his left arm at side with the hand clenched in a fist and with a hole, probably to hold a sceptre, which is now missing. The right arm is bent, and half of the forearm is missing. The god is wearing a broken false beard. Amun is wearing a short plain apron type of skirt with a belt. The feet rest on a rectangular base. From the base, two square tenon projects down, the front one is broken. The object is made in the lost-wax technique for solid casts.
