Finial with nemes and crowned figure, probably Osiris A.D. 2nd-3rd century Roman Period This object in its form as a figural finial for furniture or a stand belongs to a Greco-Roman tradition.

But it has been argued that some figures of a male in shendyt kilt and nemes seen in Isaic contexts outside Egypt represent Osiris because they appear against or as pillars. While Egyptologists recognize that historically in Egypt such architectonic figures in fact represented kings, it is difficult to evaluate the understanding of such figures by the Greco-Roman Period and made for Isaic cults. But on the basis of that theory, the bust rising out of the floral element here has been identified as Osiris.. Finial with nemes and crowned figure, probably Osiris 547863
