- Lot Description
Ancient Egypt, Ptolemaic Period, ca. 332 to 30 BCE. A cast-bronze figure of Osiris, the god of the Underworld, who stands in mummiform while holding his signature heka scepter and flagellum (nekhakh) over his chest. The venerated deity stares outwards with almond-shaped eyes bearing elongated canthi, their recesses perhaps once decorated with colorful inlays, while a sharp nose, thin lips, and a plaited false beard comprise the remainder of his physiognomy. Sitting low on his brow is an Atef crown complete with ostrich feathers and a lengthy uraeus cobra, and the entire composition has developed layers of brown patina over the centuries. Size: 1.4" L x 2.25" W x 9.2" H (3.6 cm x 5.7 cm x 23.4 cm); 9.75" H (24.8 cm) on included custom stand.
