This is the rating and price for Fine Egyptian Wooden Ptah Sokar Osiris Figure

Description : Ancient Egypt, Late Dynastic to Greco-Roman periods, ca. 712 to 30 BCE. An amazing, rare artifact from a culture whose enigmatic funerary rituals hint at a truly lost way of life, this is a painted wood statuette depicting Ptah-Sokar-Osiris in his human-faced form. The god is made of three parts: Ptah, the creator god of Memphis, Sokar, the patron of the Memphite necropolis, and Osiris, the god of the afterlife and and lord of the underworld. All three are depicted in mummy forms, Osiris and Ptah as men, and Sokar as a falcon. Together, they tell a story of birth, death, and resurrection. These figures became popular after ca. 1000 BCE and are associated with elite burials. The god figure has a wooden toggle under its feet with which at one time it would have been attached atop a box that would contain a linen-wrapped mummy made of corn. This corn mummy was a substitute image of the deceased. The entire artifact was once painted with rich colors, and decorated with hieroglyphics, here you can see some remains of a blue paint around the face. Comes with custom stand.
