Bronze statuette representing Osiris, the Egyptian god of the dead. His body is entirely enveloped in a cloth that leaves the hands free, he is holding a flail and the heka-sceptre, two royal attributes. On his head is an atef-crown, at the front of which is an uraeus, while at the rear two ribbons pass down the back of the cloth. The crown is composed of a collection of linked ears of wheat, on top of which are a mandrake, a pair of bull's horns, and two ostrich feathers.
