- Lot Description
Egypt, Late Dynastic Period, 26th to 31st Dynasty, ca. 664 to 332 BCE. A cast-bronze fragmentary figure depicting Osiris, the god of the underworld. Osiris presents with a rigid pose as he holds his signature heka scepter in his lowered left hand and his flagellum in his raised right hand. A false beard extends beneath Osiris' chin as well as his pursed lips, protruding nose, and petite eyes, and atop his head is the Atef crown with a pair of ostrich feathers and a frontal uraeus cobra. Thick layers of brown and green patina envelop the entire composition in color. The figural fragment is mounted to a modern wooden backing with an informational plaque as well as a rendition of Osiris as he presides over the ceremony known as the "weighing of the heart." Custom wooden plaque and cardboard storage box included. Size (Osiris): 1.25" W x 3.875" H (3.2 cm x 9.8 cm); (backing): 9.5" W x 9.9" H (24.1 cm x 25.1 cm); (box): 10.9" L x 10.875" W x 1.625" H (27.7 cm x 27.6 cm x 4.1 cm)
