Amun-Min-Kamutef
Description
<p>The representation of the mummiform Amun-Min-Kamutef with an erect phallus alludes to his role as a fertility god. His right arm is raised in a gesture of rejoicing. The name Kamutef ("bull of his mother") conveys that the god is both father and son and, therefore, self-created. Instead of the god's usual tall, feathered crown, this statuette (a rare example) depicts the god wearing the crown of Upper (south) Egypt, emphasizing his southern origins.</p><p>For the latest information about this object, <cite><a href='https://purl.thewalters.org/art/54.2062' rel='external'>Amun-Min-Kamutef</a></cite>, visit the Online Collection of the Walters Art Museum.</p>
