Description
Egypt, Late Dynastic to Ptolemaic periods, ca. 662 to 30 BCE. This is a large cast bronze votive amulet of Osiris, standing, holding his implements, the crook and flail, at his shoulders.

His headdress, depicted here, is the Atef crown, a central miter mounted upon two ram's horns, with a sun disk (symbol of royalty) and flanked by two ostrich feathers.
