Item Details

Description

Ancient Egypt, Late Dynastic to Greco-Roman periods, ca. 712 to 30 BCE. An amazing, rare artifact from a culture whose enigmatic funerary rituals hint at a truly lost way of life, this is a painted wooden statuette, originally part of a figural box depicting Ptah-Sokar-Osiris in his human-faced form. This is the Osiris portion of the box, and he is depicted mummiform, with a richly painted wooden surface. A tall crest, representing the ostrich feather Atef crown of Osiris, rises from the top of his head. The god is made of three parts: Ptah, the creator god of Memphis; Sokar, the patron of the Memphite necropolis, and Osiris, the god of the afterlife and lord of the underworld. All three are depicted in mummy forms; Osiris and Ptah as men, and Sokar as a falcon. Together, they tell a story of birth, death, and resurrection. These figures became popular after ca. 1000 BCE and are associated with elite burials. Size: 3.1" W x 15.25" H (7.9 cm x 38.7 cm); 17.4" H (44.2 cm) on included custom stand.

This god would have stood atop a box with a simple hinged lid; a linen-wrapped mummy made of corn would be placed into the hollow box to represent rebirth in the afterlife (the earliest examples instead had funerary papyri placed inside of them). This corn "mummy" was a substitute image of the deceased. This figure represents the complex religious iconography of ancient Egypt and also serves as a good example that this religion and culture was not unchanging over the vast time period that it lasted; instead, new practices and gods arose over time.
