This large Osiris is depicted mummiform with the arms bent at the elbows, his fisted hands emerging from beneath his vestment to hold the flail and the crook, now missing. His head is adorned by an elaborate atef-crown fronted by a uraeus and flanked by plumes and a uraeus topped by a solar disc above twisted ram horns. For another large and fine Osiris in bronze with inlaid eyes at the British Museum, see inv. no. EA67159.
