Statuette

E142-Ifn7368.jpg

Painted wooden statuette of Ptah-Sokar-Osiris. It is exuberantly decorated on the front and is divided into four sections: an eight-row usekh collar with the ends crowned by falcon's heads; a winged scarab pushing the solar disk with the udjat and neb signs on the edges of its wings; a picture of Osiris, Isis and Nephthys; and a long hieroglyphic text divided into three vertical columns. Most of the text is lost. There is a peg underneath the statue for insertion into a base. The peg to secure the crown is all that remains of the headdress.
