介绍（中）	奥西里斯最常被描绘成一具被遮盖的木乃伊，强调他与死者的联系。他手持连枷和一个短的牧羊人钩，这是埃及王权的象征，留着长长的辫子，象征着神性。在他高高的王冠前面是一条眼镜蛇，这是一条准备向敌人吐火的眼镜蛇。角可能将他与太阳神联系在一起，太阳神经常在白天和晚上以公羊头的形象出现到公元前一千年，奥西里斯的雕像和小雕像被大量提供，这既反映了神的重要性，也反映了古埃及人执行某些仪式的方式的转变。奥西里斯雕像被发现的一些地方可以被确定为属于他的寺庙和圣地，但在解释不明确的情况下，它们也被发现为祭品。这个例子非常大，虽然不是青铜中已知的最大的。
介绍（英）	Osiris is most often represented as a shrouded mummy, emphasizing his connection with the dead. He holds a flail and a short shepherd’s crook, insignia associated with Egyptian kingship, and wears a long, braided beard, emblematic of divinity. On the front of his tall crown is a uraeus, a cobra ready to spit fire at his enemies. The horns may link him with the sun god, who often appears as a ram-headed man at the end of the day and during the night. By the first millennium B.C., statues and statuettes of Osiris were offered in profusion, reflecting both the importance of the god and a shift in how the ancient Egyptians performed certain rituals. Some of the places where statues of Osiris have been found can be identified as temples and shrines belonging to him, but they have also been found as offerings in contexts where explanations are not evident. This example is unusually large, though not the largest known in bronze.
