Description
Holding his erect phallus in the left hand, with a socket in the right fist for attaching a flail. The sash down the right leg is carved with symbols, including two plumes on poles (emblems of Min), plant fronds or sawfish saws, two Lambis shells, a harpoon and a hyena. The oval depressions on the body were probably produced by grinding to obtain limestone dust for its supposed magical properties.
