Osiris

8564.jpg

Osiris is shown seated, holding his attributes, the crook and the flail, in his hands close to his chest. He is wearing the atef-crown complete with lateral ostrich feathers and uraeus, but without the horizontal ram's horns. Around his neck is a rich necklace with inlaid pieces of red and blue enamel. The gaze is lowered as if the god is looking down on a worshipper. The bronze has been hollow cast with fine, thin walls.
