介绍（中）	奥西里斯是埃及陪葬神中最重要的一位，也是冥界的统治者，他站得笔直，戴着一顶顶着太阳盘、下面是羊角的atef王冠。他的面部特征以可塑的眉毛和厚重的眼睑为敏感的模型。他的贴身木乃伊服装沿着脖子后部有一个浅而坚硬的上边缘，这一特征在这件衣服上有一定的规律性，但含义不明确。他的手和手腕，连同手镯，从衣服上弯曲的缝隙中伸出。他双手不对称地握着皇家的弯刀和连枷总的来说，到公元前一千年，奥西里斯小雕像是埃及最丰富的寺庙祭品之一，这既反映了神的重要性，也反映了不断变化的邪教习俗，促使人们大规模奉献小雕像。许多奥西里斯的雕像都是在属于他的寺庙和神殿中供奉的，但在其他地方也有发现，例如在纪念其他著名神的寺庙和神殿附近或动物墓地。
介绍（英）	Osiris, foremost of the Egyptian funerary gods and ruler of the underworld, stands upright and wears an atef crown with a sun disk on top and ram horns below. His facial features are sensitively modeled with plastic brows and thick, heavy eyelids. His close-fitting mummiform garment has a shallow stiff upper edge along the back of the neck, a feature that occurs with some regularity on this garment, but one with an unclear meaning. His hands and wrists, complete with bracelets, extend out from curved slits in his garment. He holds the royal crook and flail with his hands poised asymmetrically. In general, Osiris statuettes were some of the most abundant temple offerings in Egypt by the first millennium B.C., reflecting both the god’s importance and changing cult practices that spurred the wide-scale dedication of deity statuettes. Many statues of Osiris were offered in temples and shrines belonging to him, but they have also been found in other contexts, for example near temples and shrines honoring other prominent deities or in animal necropoleis.
