- Lot Description
Egypt, Late Dynastic to Ptolemaic Period, ca. 664 to 30 BCE. Cast-bronze depiction of Osiris, the primary deity of the Egyptian Pantheon, father of Horus and husband of Isis, and god of the underworld. Osiris stands in mummiform with a slender body, bent arms with detailed hands grasping his symbolic crook and flail, with a thick tang projecting from beneath his feet, and a faint banded pectoral collar around his neck. His face exhibits traditional characteristics such as almond eyes, cupped ears, a false beard, and full lips, and atop his head rests the white crown of Upper Egypt (known as a "hedjet" crown) with a frontal uraeus and areas for detachable ostrich feathers. Enveloped in a palette of pale green, dark green, blue-green, russet, and azurite patina, this is a fabulous example of quality Egyptian craftsmanship! Custom museum-quality display stand included. Size: 1.8" W x 6.875" H (4.6 cm x 17.5 cm); 7.425" H (18.9 cm) on included custom stand.
