介绍（中）	奥西里斯是埃及陪葬神中最重要的一位，也是黑社会的统治者，他站得笔直，戴着最精致的atef王冠，羽毛和羊角两侧都有一个uraeus。在每一侧的羊角下面是两个小环，从中可以在每一侧摆动一对单独铸造的乌雷。他穿着一件贴身的木乃伊服装，与他的手臂和肩膀相吻合。他握着皇家的弯刀和连枷，双手对称，拳头相触。奥西里斯右手拿着镰刀，左手拿着连枷，这与通常的排列相反，尽管这种排列偶尔也会在其他小雕像上得到证实到公元前一千年，像这样的奥西里斯雕像是埃及最丰富的寺庙供奉物之一，反映了神的重要性和不断变化的邪教习俗，这些习俗促使人们大规模奉献神雕像。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 one of the most elaborate versions of his atef crown, complete with a uraeus on either side of the feathers and ram horns. Beneath the ram horns on each side are two small loops, from which would have swung a pair of separately cast uraei on each side. He is dressed in a close-fitting mummiform garment that conforms to his arms and shoulders. He holds the royal crook and flail with his hands poised symmetrically with the fists touching. Osiris holds the crook in his right hand and the flail in the left, which is the reverse of the usual arrangement, although this arrangement is occasionally attested on other statuettes as well. Osiris statuettes such as this one 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.
