Sobre el lote Lote N° 64 Título : An Egyptian black steatite ithyphallic figure of Min Notas : Provenance:Ex French private collection.Literature:Min was a fertility god and symbol of male potency who also served as protector of the mining areas in the Eastern Desert. He was associated first with the site of Koptos and later with Akhmim which became known as Panopolis in the Ptolemaic Period because of the Greeks' association of Min with the god Pan. Characteristic Pharaonic depictions show him as a mummiform human figure holding his erect phallus with his left hand, while his right arm is raised in a smiting gesture, with a flail simultaneously poised above his head.
