A solid cast bronze arm from a large statuette of a deity.
The casting is of the highest quality and minute details can still be observed on the fingers and thumb. The dove-tailed attachment tang is also interesting as it shows how larger-scale figures were assembled by Egyptian master craftsmen.

A heavy and solid cast bronze figure of the god Osiris with moulded and chased details. The god is shown in typical standing mummiform stance, holding the crook and flail and wearing the Atef crown surmounted by a Uraeus snake to the front.
Osiris was associated with the rites of the Dead and their passage to the next life.
It is unusual to see a back pillar on this type of bronze figure, decorated with a series of diagonal incisions.
Egypt, Late Dynastic Period, 730-332 BC.
