Osiris statuette

Standing, mummiform figure of Osiris, wearing a tight-fitting dress. He is wearing an atef-crown and a false beard. A suspension loop is present behind the neck. The arms are bent and the fists, resting side by side on the chest, hold the nekhekh and the heqa-sceptres, in inverted position. The tenon under the feet is modern. The object is made in the lost-wax technique for solid casts.
