Osiris statuette

Standing, mummiform figure of Osiris, wearing a tight-fitting dress which leaves the hands uncovered. The object is made up of two parts: the head and the body. Osiris 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 object is made in the lost-wax technique for hollow casts.
