Osiris statuette

Fragmentary, standing, mummiform figure of Osiris, wearing a tight-fitting dress. He is wearing an atef-crown with a uraeus and a solar disc, which is now missing. Osiris has a false beard. A suspension loop composed of two bands is present behind the neck. His arms are crossed on the chest, the fists hold the nekhekh and heqa-sceptres. The legs are missing. Mounted on a modern bronze base. The object is probably made in the lost-wax technique for hollow casts.
