goose of Amun

Wooden objects that had been gilded and painted black symbolized rebirth and fertility and were certainly connected with primeval rites.
The goose of Amun, which was found between the golden shrines, was involved in the funerary rites and connected with the birth of the sun.
The complete symbolic meaning of the goose, however, is not entirely understood.
