Late Period, Ca. 664 - 332 BC. An Egyptian statuette of Ptah Sokar Osiris, intricately carved from dense hardwood, possibly cedar, and embellished with gilt. The figure is depicted in the traditional mummiform pose with fused legs and protruding feet. It has prominent almond-shaped eyes, a pronounced nose, and full lips that form a slight smile. The cheeks are tapered, and lightly cupped ears complement the facial features. All of this is framed by the lappets of a headdress that rests low on the brow, adorned with a high crown and two feathers.
