Egyptian Bronze Standing Osiris Figure

Egypt, Late Dynastic Period, 26th to 31st Dynasty, ca. 664 to 332 BCE. A cast-bronze figure of Osiris, the god of the underworld, standing atop an integral rectangular plinth with a petite suspension loop on one side. Osiris stands in mummiform with fused legs, holds his signature flagellum and short-handled heka scepter in his arms, and has a second suspension loop centered behind his shoulder blades. His peaceful countenance is defined by ovoid eyes with elongated corners, a broad nose, and a plaited false beard, and his Atef crown bears a pair of broad ostrich feathers and a frontal uraeus cobra. Thick patina in hues of green, brown, and russet have formed across the figure. Size: 1.6" W x 4.6" H (4.1 cm x 11.7 cm); 4.625" H (11.7 cm) on included custom stand.
