Osiris
Description
Bronze avec les yeux incrustés d'or. ; Debout sur une base trapézoïdale, le dieu présente ses caractéristiques habituelles. Il est pourvu d'une couronne atef sans cornes, d'une barbe postiche et d'un collier-ousekh. Le corps est tout entier enveloppé dans une gaine qui lui maintient les jambes serrées et les bras collés contre le buste. Ne s'en échappent que les mains, placées l'une au-dessus de l'autre, la droite sur la poitrine et la gauche sur le ventre, chacune tenant respectivement le flagellum-nekhakha et un long sceptre heqa. Le soin apporté au travail a conduit à préciser plusieurs détails comme les tresses et les attaches de la barbe, les quatre rangs du collier et les bracelets des poignets, sans oublier les trois rubans qui pendent de la coiffe sur la nuque et dans le dos. La base sur laquelle se dresse la figure est creuse, avec un tenon de fixation à l'arrière et une inscription sur le devant et le côté droit
