DescriptionOne of five faience amulets. Little anthropoid figurine whose head is not clearly shaped, but who must be wearing a false beard. His right knee is lying on the ground, while his left knee is raised in front of him with his foot set on the floor. He is raising his two forearms above his head, on which he is carrying a sun disk.
