A small but rather nicely made and detailed faience amulet of Min
The ithyphallic deity Min was, was one of the most ancient of Egyptian deities, a fertility god and the symbol of male potency. He was also the protector of the mines of the Eastern Desert. He was generally depicted standing holding his erect phallus with his left hand and holding a flail in his raised right hand. By the New Kingdom he was viewed as a primordial creator god. Placed with a burial, Min would  have helped the deceased to achieve rebirth..
Intact.
Only 21mm and yet well detailed with a nice face.
Late Period, circa 500 BC
Ex USA collection acquired in Israel a very long time ago.
