Bronze Seated Sculpture Of Osiris - PF.5349 Origin: Egypt Circa: 1085
BC
to 332
BC Dimensions:10" (25.4cm) high Catalogue: V26 Collection: Egyptian Antiquities Style: Late Dynastic Period Medium: Bronze
This seated bronze Osiris wears the "atef" crown
of Upper Egypt and carries the crook and flail.
These attributes in iconography attest to Osiris
being the "lord of the west," and in the New
Kingdom as judge of the dead along with Anubis
at the "weighing of the heart." What is most
significant about this bronze is its particularly
large size, which is quite rare; along with the
elegant modeling and commanding presence of
the deity.
