Descripción : An imposing sculptural image of one of the major deities of the Egyptian pantheon, the god Osiris. It is of solid bronze made by the lost-wax technique. The figure is erect, in a rather rigid pose.Osiris is wrapped in a shroud which clings closely to the contours of his slender body. Only his hands with closed fists protrude from his shroud near the centre of his chest. From the hollows in the fists we can deduce that the figure would have been holding a sceptre, which would have been made separately, perhaps also of bronze or another metal such as gold.He wears the most representative headdress, the atef crown, on his head. This is made up of the White Crown of Upper Egypt with the addition on either side of an ostrich feather. A cobra snakes down the front of the crown with its head erect just above the god’s forehead. This element was also made separately and would have been inserted in the square hollow that can be seen here. A wide necklace, the usekh, decorates the chest and passes around the neck.
