Answer 1

Actually, it is!

Please have a look here

http://www.touregypt.net/featurestories/amun-re.htm

and scroll down. Illustration nr 3 shows a side view the same statue.

The headgear shows that here, Amun is depicted in the form of a king. In his right hand, he has the Egyptian war-scythe, called khopesh and in his left, an ankh as a symbol of everlasting life.



Cheap statuettes like that which are usually made from mastic or plaster are often not true to the original and symbols and hieroglyphs sometimes get mixed up.

Answer 2

I think this representation is phoney and theatrical. As you say Amun Ra normally appears withy bronzed human features wearing a headdress - a kind of crown which supports two parallel feather plumes. He sometimes stands with a whip raised above his head. Or is represented by the head of a ram with curled horns.

Answer 3

He also was depicted with the head of a hawk.
