Osirian statuette

A limestone Osirian obelisk figure without a base, covered with plaster or whitewash. Osiris is carved in bas relief on one side, standing and wearing the atef crown. The figure is outlined in red paint. There are traces of paint near the relief body of the god, blue at the top and red at the bottom. Traces of red paint are also on the sides and on the back near the hole. On his left is what might be another figure or even offerings. The hole for the mummy has the same shape of the obelisk. The short base has a rectangular shape. The shape of the obelisk is not regular but hangs on one side and roughly worked.
