Amun statuette

Squatting figure of Amun. The god is wearing a crown composed of a flat-topped headdress, similar to the base of the red crown, with two feathers and a solar disc. The face is finely detailed for the size of the figure. The god is wearing a dress that does not allow the limbs to be distinguished, with only the shape of the arms, resting on the thighs, being visible. A circular tenon projects down from the figure. The object is made in the lost-wax technique for solid casts.
