Osiris with the name of Pawenhatef

A small bronze figure of Osiris stands on a dark rectangular base, mounted on a white stepped stand. The god wears a tall atef crown with feathered sides and holds crook and flail crossed on his chest. The surface shows green patina and dark metal, set against a plain grey backdrop.

Look closer: Small inscribed hieroglyphic text on the front of the dark base.
