Asset Overview

Ancient Egyptian bronze sculpture of the god Osiris, 644-30 BCE, now in the collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art. From the sculpture's description on artsmia.org: "According to Egyptian religious beliefs, Osiris, as god of the underworld, had suffered death and resurrection. Thus he was believed to control the regenerative force of the Nile river. In this conventional representation, Osiris wears the crown of Upper Egypt flanked by two plumes, and a ceremonial beard. In his arms crossed over his chest he grasps the crook (staff with curved end) and flail (manual threshing device) symbolic of the pharaoh's authority."
