Osiris momiforme
Description
Cette figurine osirienne est d'aspect général trapu. La couronne atef ne possède pas de cornes horizontales torsadées; les deux rémiges sont recourbées en leurs parties supérieures. La mitre blanche est porteuse d'un grand uraeus. Le menton porte une barbe postiche recourbée à son extrémité supérieure. Les mains sont placées en vis-à-vis: cette position est dite de 'Moyenne Egypte'; la droite tient le flagellum nékhékh et la gauche le sceptre hékat. Les pieds du dieu sont posés sur un large socle, dont le dessous est porteur d'un tenon de fixation. Au revers de la statuette, on remarque une bélière non percée qui se poursuit par un pilier dorsal. Des signes cryptographiques sont gravés dans la partie inférieure de la figurine (jambes et pilier dorsal)
