Statuette of Amenopet naming the provider/beneficiary Amenirdis son of Horiaa

Amenopet was a creator god depicted as ithyphallic whose cult developed at Thebes in the New Kingdom alongside the cult of Amun, of whom he was an aspect. According to Theban beliefs, he was believed to present offerings to the primeval form of Amun and other primeval gods, including Osiris, where they were buried at Medinet Habu on the west bank. Another cult of the god existed at Tanis from its founding, and there are traces of possible cults elsewhere.

This small figure of the god has shifted on its base and is damaged: the headdress feathers, beard, phallus and raised arm holding the flail are missing, and inlays of collar, eyes and beardstraps are lost.The base was elaborately embellished with precious metal inlays of symbols and scenes that accompany royalty, and considerable traces remain. At the front of the base the god's name was placed in a cartouche flanked by winged cobras wearing crowns of upper and lower Egypt and labeled Wadjet and Nekhbet. On either side the goddess Meret faces the falcon-headed Souls of Pe or the jackal-headed Souls of Nekhen who join in acclamation. On the rear kneeling fecundity figures bind the sema-tawy or unification emblem. On top of the base, the god, as a ruler god, tramples on the nine-bows, which were once inlaid, as was the inscription in front of him: Amenopet gives life to Amenirdis son of Horiaa.
