The ram was revered in ancient Egypt in matters of fertility and war. Early gods with long wavy ram horns include Khnum and the equivalent god in Lower Egypt, Banebdjedet, the "Ram Lord of Djedet" (Mendes), who was typically shown with four ram heads to represent the four souls (Ba) of the sun god.[1] Banebdjedet may also be linked to the first four gods to rule over Egypt, Osiris, Geb, Shu and Ra-Atum, with large granite shrines devoted to each in the Mendes sanctuary. The Book of the Heavenly Cow describes the "Ram of Mendes" as being the Ba of Osiris, but this was not an exclusive association.. but U knew all this...'-) nice Ram.
Many thanks ROYCROFTBOOKSFROMME for those kind comments. It seems this is a cult object for collectors of Sklo glass. It is from a set of three that he did in clear glass and frosted clear. There are another two later figures in amber that are really the grail objects. No I did not know all of what you mention above but the trigger of Beran is interesting, no ???
