This figure depicts the Egyptian god of resurrection, Ptah-Sokar-Osiris standing with his hands across chest and wear a tightly fitting mummiform garment and triparte wig. A single incised band of hieroglyphic script down front reads “Made by the favor of the king for the steward Neherti...” at the top. 

It’s interesting that the inscription is carved in hieratic (cursive) rather than careful hieroglyphs.
Size: 15-3/4 inches H. and plus a rough hewn wood block (probably not ancient) replacement base.

Condition: Nose gone and wear to surface and inscription, hairline crack. and destress throughout.
