Osiris statuette

Standing, mummiform figure of Osiris, wearing a tight-fitting dress which leaves the hands uncovered. He is wearing an atef-crown, a false beard and a wesekh-collar. The arms are bent and the fists, the right one positioned above the left and resting tightly on the torso, hold the nekhekh and heqa-sceptres. The statuette is broken at mid-calf. A modern nail has been inserted in the break. The object is made in the lost-wax technique for solid casts.
