Osiris
A small bronze statuette of Osiris, the Egyptian god of the dead, shown standing in mummiform sheath with crossed arms and the tall atef crown with side plumes. Its dark green patina and modeled features are clear against a plain gray background, resting on a cream block base.
Look closer: The crook and flail are held across the chest, and the cream block base is a modern mount beneath the figure.
