Dark bronze statuette of a standing male figure in a tall disk crown, set on a small pale wooden base against gray.

Osiris-Iah

A dark cupreous bronze statuette of a standing male figure with arms at his sides, wearing a tall crown topped by a broad disk and a close-fitting garment. Green patina marks the seams and feet, and the figure stands on a small square plinth set on a pale wooden block against a plain gray backdrop.

Look closer: Green corrosion collects at the feet and along the joints of the legs.
