Osiris — Lord of the Dead

This small cupreous metal figure shows Osiris, the Egyptian deity of the afterlife and resurrection. He is depicted in his classic mummiform state, holding the crook and flail across his chest, and wearing the tall Atef crown flanked by two ostrich feathers.

Osiris is a foundational figure in the development of Western mystery traditions, serving as the archetype of the dying and rising god whose death and rebirth represent the soul's journey through the underworld. His iconography deeply influenced the Hermetic tradition's conceptualization of spiritual transformation and the afterlife.
