Osiris is represented standing on a pedestal with a peg at the bottom. He wears the plaited ceremonial beard and the Atef-crown with ram's horns, a uraeus, and a ribbon at the back. Over his tight-fitting mummy-gown is a broad collar. In his hands, emerging from the garment, he holds the crook and the flail. The statuette is finely modelled and very detailed in its decoration.
