EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the essence of ancient Egyptian art and religion with a Statuette of Osiris dating back to the Third Intermediate Period. Made from granite, this intricately carved figurine depicts Osiris, the god of the afterlife and rebirth, wearing a crown and holding royal scepters in each hand.
Osiris is seated majestically, adorned with the Atef crown symbolizing his high-ranking status as a deity. The feathered attributes on his head represent his role as judge in the underworld, while his beard signifies wisdom and authority. The crook and flail held by Osiris are traditional symbols of kingship and protection.
This statuette serves as a powerful representation of ancient Egyptian mythology and religious beliefs surrounding death and resurrection. It offers a glimpse into the rich history and cultural significance of this period in Egypt's past.
Displayed at the Carlsberg Glyptotek Museum in Copenhagen, Denmark, this piece is not just an artifact but a window into another world - one where gods walked among mortals and life after death was believed to be attainable through faithfulness to divine principles.
