Ancient Egyptian bronze sculpture of the god Osiris, 644-30 BCE, now in the collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art. From the sculpture’s description on artsmia.org: “According to Egyptian religious beliefs, Osiris, as the god of the underworld, had suffered death and resurrection. Thus he was believed to control the regenerative force of the Nile river. In this conventional representation, Osiris wears the crown of Upper Egypt flanked by two plumes and a ceremonial beard. In his arms crossed over his chest, he grasps the crook (staff with curved end) and flail (manual threshing device) symbolic of the pharaoh’s authority.” More information: https://collections.artsmia.org/art/93/god-osiris-ancient-egyptian  _________ This object was scanned by the Minneapolis Institute of Art
