|Egyptian| |Antiquities|, |Egyptian,| |Wooden| |Head| |Rest,| |18th| |Dynasty,| |1550| |-| |1292| |B.C.|
Although this design may appear uncomfortable to us, the ancient Egyptians must have approved because the type was used for thousands of years from the First Dynasty (c. 3100 - 2890 B.C) through the Ptolemaic Period. It cupped the side of the face while one slept on their side. These headrests were taken to the tomb for use in the Other Life; mummies often lay within the coffin with the head resting on one.AEA30970. Egyptian wooden head rest, cf. Petrie, Objects of Daily Use, p. 35, 33, Choice, 20.7 cm (8 1/8"), complete without repairs, cracks as expected for ancient wood objects of this size, made in three parts; SOLD


Egyptian, Late Period - Ptolemaic Period, Bronze Figure of Osiris, 664 - 30 B.C.

|Egyptian| |Antiquities|, |Egyptian,| |Late| |Period| |-| |Ptolemaic| |Period,| |Bronze| |Figure| |of| |Osiris,| |664| |-| |30| |B.C.|
Osiris is the god of fertility, agriculture, the afterlife, the dead, resurrection, life, and vegetation in ancient Egyptian religion. He was classically depicted as a green-skinned deity with a pharaoh's beard, partially mummy-wrapped at the legs, wearing a distinctive atef crown, and holding a symbolic crook and flail. He was one of the first to be associated with the mummy wrap. When his brother Set cut him up into pieces after killing him, Osiris' wife Isis found all the pieces and wrapped his body up, enabling him to return to life. Osiris was widely worshiped until the decline of ancient Egyptian religion during the rise of Christianity in the Roman Empire. Through the hope of new life after death, Osiris began to be associated with the cycles in nature, in particular the sprouting of vegetation and the annual flooding of the Nile River, as well as the heliacal rising of Orion and Sirius at the start of the new year. He became the sovereign that granted all life, "He Who is Permanently Benign and Youthful." Some Egyptologists believe the Osiris mythos may have originated in a former living ruler – possibly a shepherd who lived in Predynastic times (5500–3100 BC) in the Nile Delta, whose beneficial rule led to him being revered as a god. The accoutrements of the shepherd, the crook and the flail, support this theory. AS30991. Egyptian, bronze figure of the god Osiris; cf. Yale Egyptian p. 150, B, Choice excellent detail, original patina, 664 - 30 B.C.; in mummified form wearing Atef-crown with Uraeus, height 11 cm (4 3/8"), braided beard curved at the tip, holding the royal regalia crock and flail; two-sided; SOLD
