Osiris, Egyptian god of the dead, king of the afterlife, is standing frontal, tightly swathed in mummy wrappings. On his head is the ‘Atef’ – a high mitre flanked by two ostrich feathers, the crown of Upper Egypt. The crown is also decorated with a pair of horns and the Uraeus (the Cobra snake). His two hands are held close to his chest, clutching the whip and the sceptre in the form of a crook, emblems of supreme power. The symbolic royal beard is prominent below the chin. The features of the figure’s face are very clear and refined and finely modeled, with two protruding ears, small nose and fleshy lips. The eyes, now missing, were originally inlaid with different material, possibly stone.
