- This fragment was part of a wooden statue of Isiris. Looking at the size of this fragment the statue must have been rather big and significant.
- Osiris is the god of fertility, agriculture, the afterlife, the dead, resurrection, life, and vegetation in Ancient Egyptian religion. He was classically depicted with a pharaoh's beard, partially mummy-wrapped at the legs, wearing a distinctive Atef crown, and holding a symbolic crook and flail.
- See third to last picture as an example of Osiris with Atef Crown: https://www.thecollector.com/contendings-horus-and-seth-egyptian-titans/
- The Atef Crown is the specific feathered White Crown of the Ancient Egyptian God Osiris. It combines the Hedjet, the White Crown of Upper Egypt, with curly ostrich feathers on each side of the crown for the Osiris cult. The feathers are identified as ostrich from their curl or curve at the upper ends, with a slight flare toward the base. They are the same feather as worn by Maät.
- See the Atef Crown in the second to last picture: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atef
- The Uraeus is the stylized, upright form of an Egyptian cobra, used as a symbol of sovereignty, royalty, deity and divine authority in ancient Egypt.
