Head possibly from a figure of Amun-Min ca. 664-525 B.C. or later Late Period (Saite) or later Although tiny, this intriguing head comes from a high-status composite sculpture most likely of the god Amun-Min. The eyes would have been inlaid with a different material (now missing), and the cap crown has a notch in the back to hold an addition, perhaps the tall feathers worn by Amun and gods syncretized with him (see 07.228.179). The pursed lips suggest a date in the Late Period, although a later date is also possible.Amun, king of the Egyptian pantheon from the New Kingdom on, was joined with a number of other deities. One of these was Min, originally from the northern Upper Egyptian site of Akhmim. As Amun-Min, this syncretized deity is usually shown with an erect penis, evoking his role as a self-generated fertility god.. Head possibly from a figure of Amun-Min. ca. 664-525 B.C. or later. Steatite. Late Period (Saite) or later. From Egypt. Dynasty 26 or later
