Osiris
A small copper-alloy statuette of the god Osiris, shown mummiform with arms crossed on the chest, and wearing the tall atef crown with plumes. Its reddish-brown patina and worn surface are set on a pale wooden base against a plain grey ground.
Look closer: The crook and flail are held crossed over the chest, small details that are easy to overlook at a glance.
