DESCRIPTIVE DATA
----------------
object type: Osiris, seated, open-work panel from funeral furniture
object type: Open-work panel featuring depiction of seated Osiris figure. Rectangular with breakage near top right corner. Figure holds a cook/was sceptre and flail. The rear appears to be largely covered in a black shiny substance, which is further covered in a thin layer of 'brown dust'. On the front of the figure, traces of yellow pigment can be identified on his face (predominantly around the ear) and a linen-like material appears attached at various points (most noticeably just below the torso). It is suggested that this is a furniture panel, which is quite likely. However, the presence of linen, in this manner, may suggest a funereal connection also, possibly featuring within the mummification process. There is a thin split in the wood running from the left side of the frame to his torso.
