Fragment de grand Osiris
Description
Cet Osiris, à l'origine de grande dimension, est très différent des statuettes habituelles par son style et sa facture. Il s'agit d'un bronze creux à l'image d'Osiris, roi des morts, les mains croisées sur la poitrine décorée du collier large et d'un plastron formé d'écailles et de losanges. Les mains tiennent les habituels insignes d'Osiris : le fouet ou 'Nekhakha' à droite et le crochet ou 'Heka' à gauche (type C) indiquant que le bronze a pu être fondu dans un atelier de Haute Egypte. Le visage n'est pas moins particulier : deux oreilles décollées encadrent un visage dont la bouche semble sourire. Les yeux, aujourd'hui vides, étaient autrefois incrustés. Un magnifique uréus se développe jusqu'au sommet de la couronne blanche.
