The figures shown here represents the god's three parts: Ptah, the creator god of Memphis, Sokar, the patron of the Memphite necropolis, and Osiris, the god of the afterlife and lord of the underworld. All three are traditionally depicted in mummy forms, Osiris and Ptah as men, and Sokar as a falcon. Together, they tell a story of birth, death, and resurrection. These figures became popular after ca. 1000 BCE and are associated with elite burials. Please note that this piece is a dropship item, meaning that it will be shipping from the consignor's location.
