This is the rating and price for Ancient Egypt, Late Dynastic To Ptolemaic Period, 1992

Description : Ancient Egypt, Late Dynastic to Ptolemaic Period, ca. 664 to 30 BCE. A beautiful cast-bronze figure of Osiris, god of the Underworld, that stands in mummiform with fused feet. The deity presents holding his signature Heka scepter and flagellum (nekhakh) in arms crossed atop the chest, his plaited false beard resting just above their intersection, and with piercing eyes that were both once set with alabaster inlays. Atop Osiris' head rests an Atef crown complete with a pair of ostrich feathers as well as a royal uraeus cobra, a sign that Osiris commands recognition as ruler of the underworld. Remains of gilding are present across the body and attest to just how opulent this composition appeared when first created.
