Estatueta da Deusa Amon

Third Intermediate Period
ca. 945–712 BCE
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 899
Amon está representado aqui com uma espada curva como garantia da vitória militar. Esta estátua de ouro maciço, que pesa quase um quilo (0,9 kg), talvez tenha sido usada em cerimônias religiosas. Enquanto a parte de trás da coroa tem uma argola (agora quebrada), a figura é muito pesada para ter sido uma joia; talvez tenha sido suspensa em uma capela em forma de barco ou um sacerdote a levou ao redor do pescoço durante as procissões. Ou talvez a argola estivesse relacionada com costumes antigos, reais ou imaginários. Da coroa saíam duas penas, agora quebradas, que completavam a característica insígnia desta divindade.
