介绍（中）	奥西里斯是幽冥世界的统治者，他以传统的形式出现在这里，裹着一层包裹着的裹尸布，只有他的头和手从裹尸布中露出。这些手持弯刀和连枷，象征着王权。他头上戴着atef王冠，这是一顶与上埃及有关的高王冠，两侧是鸵鸟羽毛，象征着maat，即宇宙秩序。一条竖立在王冠前面的眼镜蛇保护着上帝，随时准备向他的敌人吐火和毒药。下巴上绑着一把长长的辫子胡子，胡子的末端卷曲着，这表明他是神圣的在公元前第二个千年晚期和第一个千年期间，在奥西里斯的神庙和神殿，以及纪念其他神的圣地和动物墓地中供奉奥西里斯雕像成为一种普遍的做法。这些雕像的丰富反映了这位神的重要性，也反映了不断变化的邪教习俗，促使人们大规模供奉小雕像。
介绍（英）	Osiris, ruler of the Netherworld, is shown here in his traditional form, wrapped in an enveloping shroud from which only his head and hands emerge. These hold the crook and flail, symbols of kingship. On his head he wears the atef crown, the tall crown associated with Upper Egypt, flanked by ostrich plumes signifying maat, the cosmic order. A rearing uraeus cobra set on the front of the crown protects the god, ready to spit fire and poison at his enemies. Strapped to his chin is a long, plaited beard that curls up at the end, identifying him as divine. During the late second and first millennium B.C., it became common practice to dedicate figures of Osiris in his temples and shrines, as well as in sacred places honoring other deities and in animal cemeteries. The abundance of these figures reflects this god’s importance, and also the changing cult practices that prompted the wide-scale offering of deity statuettes.
