Object Description
A finely modelled Egyptian bronze figure depicting the mummiform god Osiris wearing his standard attire, a close-fitted shroud. His wrists and hands poke out of vertical slits and meet in the centre of his body, just below his chest. He grasps a flail (nekhakha) in his left hand and a short-handled crook (heka) sceptre in his right hand. Osiris also 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). His body is mummified and presented on a square base which has been mounted on a custom-made stand.
