This Ptolemaic-period relief (3rd–1st c. BC) depicts Amun combined with Min, god of fertility and virility. With erect phallus and flail raised in power, Amun-Min symbolized creative force and royal potency, reinforcing the king’s sacred duty to uphold cosmic renewal and ensure the land’s fecundity.
