This is a figurine of the god Osiris.

We do not know where this object is from. Coppersmiths made a variety of goods, from pots and tools to figurines. A coppersmith made this figure of the god Osiris using the lost wax method. It was made to fit a plinth so that it stood upright. Someone would have bought the figure to give as an offering at a temple. This is a figurine of the god Osiris. It is made from a copper alloy. It is between 2,000 and 2,350 years old, dating to the Ptolemaic Period (332-30 BCE).
