- Remarks
- MFA 29.1247 through MFA 29.1292 form set. This amulet depicts a striding ram-headed male deity. Egypt had multiple ram gods and it is often difficult to identify which one is intended. This god may be Khnum, the patron deity of Elephantine (modern Aswan) or Harsaphes, the patron of Heracleopolis.
