Das ist der Preis für die folgende Bewertung: Published Egyptian Bronze Standing Osiris, 2012

Beschreibung : Egypt, Late Dynastic to Ptolemaic period, ca. 664 to 30 BCE. A beautiful cast-bronze figure of Osiris, the Egyptian god of the underworld, standing in mummiform with fused legs atop an integral rectangular plinth. He holds his signature flagellum and short-handled heka scepter (perhaps indicating Thebes as the figure's place of origin) in offset arms held atop the chest, and has sloping shoulders which trace down to bent elbows. His serene countenance is defined by a broad nose with flared nostrils, full lips, smooth cheeks, a plaited false beard, and cupped ears, with thin brows surmounting the bulging ovoid eyes. The head is topped with an Atef crown replete with a pair of broad ostrich feathers indicative of the Cult of Osiris, a pair of spiraling horizontal ram horns, and a frontal uraeus cobra. Lustrous green and brown patina covers the entire composition. Size: 2.5 W x 6.8 H (6.4 cm x 17.3 cm), 8.1 H (20.6 cm) on included custom stand. Published in: Eisenberg, Jerome.
