Statuette of Osiris with the epithets Neb Ankh and Khentyimentiu, dona
A slender bronze statuette of the god Osiris stands on a dark rectangular base, arms crossed over the chest and holding royal regalia. The tall atef crown rises above a face with gold leaf, and the body shows fine incised detail. The green-brown patina contrasts with the gilded features against a plain grey backdrop.
Look closer: Fine incised pattern of the garment and the crossed-arm regalia along the body.
