Osiris statuette

Standing, mummiform figure of Osiris, wearing a tight-fitting dress. He is wearing a white crown and a false beard. The arms are bent and the fists, the right one positioned above the left and resting tightly on the torso, hold the nekhekh and the heqa-sceptres. The hook of the heqa-sceptre is positioned with its opening oriented downwards. The sceptres protrude a little from underneath the fists, forming an inverted v-shape. There is a tenon under the feet. The object is made in the lost-wax technique for solid casts.
