Reliquary picturing Osiris

A limestone Osirian obelisk figure on a rectangular arched base. Osiris is standing and wears the atef crown; he holds the heka scepter and the flagellum. The corners of the obelisk are cut down and have a vertical wavy line pattern incised into the stone. The statue has a cylindrical hole, which presumably hosted an animal mummy.
