Amsu

Called also Min, Amsi, Armes, or Khem, the ithyphallic nome god of Panopolis, the Apu of ancient Egypt, and the modern Akhmim (q.v.). As representing the generative power of nature he is sometimes identified with Amen-Ra and called Min-Amen or Amen-Amsu. He is represented on the monuments as a tightly swathed figure with only one arm free, that being raised as if waving the flagellum it holds above the head. For head-dre he wears the long plumes of Amen. Behind him there are usually growing plants. Petrie found statues of this god at Coptos, and thinks it probable that he was brought by his worshippers from the land of Punt.
