This figure of Amun is richly gilded. It shows the typical appearance of the god with his high feather crown, plaited beard and a short kilt. The symbol held in his right hand, probably an ankh sign, has been lost. The left hand holds a crook as a sceptre. The crown, beard and sceptre have been crafted in bronze.
