Head of Osiris wearing Atef Crown
A dark greywacke head of Osiris, shown beneath a tall, smooth crown with a cobra rising at the forehead. The face has calm, heavy-lidded eyes and a faint smile, while the nose and chin are chipped away from age and breakage.
Look closer: A broken plume or feather fragment remains on the upper left edge of the crown.
