Osiris statuette

Standing, mummiform figure of Osiris, wearing a tight-fitting dress which leaves the wrists hands uncovered. He is wearing an atef-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 was-sceptre. The feet rest on a thin square base, from which a tenon projects down. The object is made in the lost-wax technique for solid casts.
