EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning Faience Plaque, dating back to the Late Period of Ancient Egypt (714-333 BCE), bears the inscription and image of the deceased named as Osiris. Osiris, the god of the afterlife, resurrection, and the Nile, was an essential deity in Ancient Egyptian religion. The plaque, made of tin-glazed ceramic, showcases intricate detail and vibrant colors, typical of the Faience technique popular during this era. The close-up image reveals the name "Mizraim" inscribed above Osiris, possibly indicating the owner or the place of origin. The plaque's surface is smooth and glossy, with the image of Osiris depicted in profile, wearing the Atef crown and holding a crook and a flail, symbols of his royal and agricultural aspects. This exquisite artifact, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage and religious beliefs of ancient Egypt.
