Osiris ca. 1070-664 B.C. Third Intermediate Period The wrapped body, scepters, and white crown characterize Osiris, and appear on innumerable copper alloy statues from the first millennium BC. Notably, however, this statuette has facial features that recall early Ramesside royal sculpture, such as a curving nose, and a wide slightly smiling mouth. These stylistic features indicate it is one of the still relatively rare copper alloy figures that date to the early centuries of the first millennium BC, when nineteenth dynasty (ca. 1295-1184 BC) represented the model of choice. Traces of inlays are preserved in the eyes, brows, beard straps and scepters. The beard itself is missing.At the crown and foot and at certain points of damage in the surface the fine-grained grayish casting core inside the statue can be seen. This statue provides a remarkably preserved illustration of ancient Egyptian casting technique, discussed in detail on the Conservation and Scientific Analysis tab.. Osiris. c
