G. Roeder ascribes the different poses of Osiris to geographical areas in Egypt: those with hands side-by-side to Middle Egypt, those with the hands crossed over one another to Upper Egypt, and those with hands one above the other, as with the present lot, to Lower Egypt (see Ägyptische Bronzefiguren, Staatliche Museen, Berlin, 1956).
