Amulet depicting the god Re or Montu (?)

Standing figure of Montu represented as a falcon-headed, anthropomorphic deity striding with left leg forward. The god is wearing a headdress composed of two tall feathers with a solar disc. The shape of the falcon's head and beak can be discerned, but it is worn, and the details are not visible. At the back of the headdress, there is a broken suspension loop composed of two bands. The god has a tripartite wig decorated with vertical streaks on at the back. Montu’s arms are positioned along the body. The god is wearing a kilt. The feet rest on an almost rectangular base. The object is made in the lost-wax technique for solid casts.
