Lot 909
Bronze of Seated Osiris. Egypt, Late Third Intermediate to Late Period, c. 800-450 BC. The bearded god seated in usual form fitting robe, crossed hands holding flail and crook, wearing tall atef-crown with solar disc atop. His plumpish features modeled with care and dignity; his empty eyes once inlaid. Intact and very well preserved -- the metal sound and stable. Bronze dark brown, with touches of green. Height: 6-3/8"; on walnut base. Attractive example of this less common form of Osiris. A desirable little work of art.
Estimated Value $2,000 - 2,750.
