The falcon-headed god strides with his left leg forward, fists by his side forming a negative space between his arms and waist. He wears a short kilt, a long, black wig and a crown of double feathers, sun disk and uraeus. Suspension loop behind the crown. Intact with some small areas of surface incrustation.

Montu, roughly translated at ‘nomad’, was the sun god of warfare. Often considered a ‘raging bull’ himself, his association with the Buchis Bull led to the worship of this creature.
