Ram-headed deity
Depictions of similar figures on tomb walls and coffins indicate that this deity originally grasped knives, snakes or lizards in his outstretched hands. Black varnish, applied over a linen base, originally coated the entire figure. A pair of horns was originally attached on the top of the head.
Late 18th dynasty, perhaps from the tomb of Horemheb, KV57, in the Valley of the Kings.
