A small bronze statuette depicting a mummiform Osiris figure with a large plumed atef-like crown and hands crossed at the chest.

The image shows a standing, mummiform Egyptian deity with a narrow, elongated body and wrapped/striated headdress elements. The head wears a tall crown that includes a central element and flanking plume/wing-like projections. The face has stylized features and a long, slender beard that hangs from the chin. The figure’s arms are held close to the torso with hands positioned near the chest. A small circular element is visible within the crown area (possibly a decorative emblem). No legible inscriptions or supporting text are visible on the base or around the figure. The overall surface is weathered/corroded, and the object appears as a single-cast metal statuette, consistent with a bronze work.
