The statue displays god Osiris. He is wearing the crown of Upper Egypt with uraeus on his head. In his hands he is holding the typical pharaonic symbols of power, a crook and the flail. Inlay is missing in eye’s cavity, and the top of his beard is a small hollow – probably for missing artificial beard. His body is shaped in typical Osiris mummy style.
The sculpture is damaged in the lower part.
