This artifact is a statue of the god Amun, known as the protector of Amun: the statue of King Tahaka and the ram, appearing in the image of a ram, protecting King Tahaka. It was discovered at the T Temple in Kava, Sudan and is now housed in the British Museum. It was made between 690 BC and 664 BC, during the 25th Dynasty of ancient Egypt. The ram lay on its belly, with its front legs folded underneath, and the three-dimensional statue of King Tahaka stood between them. There is a hieroglyphic inscription around the base, declaring from front to back that Tahakha was the son of Amun and Mutt, and he "completely satisfied the heart of his father Amun".
