Osiris statuette

Standing, mummiform figure of Osiris, wearing a tight-fitting dress. The object is made up of two parts: the head and the body. Osiris is wearing an atef-crown with the uraeus and ram horns. The face is richly inlaid and has a false beard. His arms are crossed on the chest, the fists hold the now missing sceptres. There is a hollow, square tenon under the feet. The object is made in the lost-wax technique. The head is solid cast, whereas the body is hollow cast.
