Description

The statuette represents Osiris as a deity associated with the Moon-god Iah, which engenders a specific iconography. Osiris-Iah is striding, with his left foot advanced; he wears a short kilt, a tripartite wig and a pleated artificial beard. In his hands he had originally held some attributes, now missing. The disk with uraeus crowning his head had originally belonged to another statuette and, probably was attached in the beginning of the Nineteenth century. There are tenons below the feet. .
