$99 USD 

This piece dates to Egypt's XXVIth Dynasty, circa 664-525 BCE.

This is a bronze statue depicting the God of the Underworld, Osiris. This piece retains it's suspension loop on the reverse, indicating that it was worn during ancient times.

Height: 37 mm. Condition: Intact and choice. A nice piece made in solid casting. This is not a hollow casting. A peculiar aspect of the Bronze Osiris figures is the way each one can be identified in terms of it's region of manufacture - if hands are placed one above the other, the piece was made in the north, Lower Egypt. If the hands are positioned together at the fists, as seen here, then the piece was made in Middle Egypt. If the piece was made in Upper Egypt, from Abydos to Aswan, then the hands will be depicted crossed on the chest.

In addition to the obvious quality of this piece, it is accompanied by a fantastic provenance...

This piece is direct from the world-renowned collection of the late Philip Mitry.

Philip Mitry was a well-known and reputable, antiquities dealer who owned a shop in Cairo which was, at the time, licensed by the Egyptian government. In the early 1950's Mitry sold the shop, which was called the Anglo-American Bookstore and Antiquities Shop. He then moved to the United States, where he began to disperse the collection.

As such, much of what has since been dispersed from this famous collection has ended up in major museums the world over, and this collection had amongst it some of the finest scarabs and seals to be found anywhere.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
