Description
Egypt, Late Dynastic Period, Dynasty 26 through 30, Ca 662 to 300 BCE. Standing bronze statuette depicts the mummiform god Osiris wearing his standard attire, a close-fitting shroud. His wrists and hands poke out of vertical slits and meet in the center of his body, just below his chest. Osiris wears the atef crown (consisting of the Upper Egyptian white crown flanked by two lateral plumes and a uraeus, whose body extends up the crown). A pair of twisted ram horns are horizontally placed at the base of the crown, above the god’s ears - tips of horns now missing. The god has a small head with a round face, flush cheeks, thick lips, almond-shaped eyes, large ears, a long nose which flares out at the nostrils, a small chin, and a false beard. Custom stand. 3-3/4" H.
