Amun is an Egyptian god considered to be king of all the gods; he is as well a creator god, believed to be himself a self-created deity, and is associated with sovereignty and with the winds. He is the consort of Mut.

He was a major deity throughout Egyptian history, and had a particular center of worship in the city of Thebes.

Amun is depicted here with deep blue skin, wearing the double-plumed crown. He carries the was staff, a symbol of power, in one hand and the ankh, a symbol of life, in the other.

He may also be depicted with black skin, or with the red skin typical of depictions of men in Egyptian art; he is sometimes depicted as a man with the head of a ram.

Amun, self-created one, king whose name is hidden,
protector of the humble, I praise and honor you.
