The obverse showcases a highly detailed portrayal of Osiris in a partially mummified state, a representation drawn from ancient Egyptian iconography. He is shown with the traditional Atef crown and a pharaoh’s beard, holding the crook and flail—symbols of rule and fertility. The design includes carefully placed hieroglyphs that add depth and authenticity, all rendered in ultra-high-relief to emphasize the fine sculptural qualities of the round.
On the reverse, Osiris appears in a fully-mummified form, positioned in front of a pyramid tomb. The scene is enhanced by the presence of four canopic jars, each topped with heads representing the sons of Horus, guardians of the internal organs. The wall behind the tomb is inscribed with hieroglyphs, adding further thematic context. The elevated strike brings added dimensionality, giving the background and foreground elements a sharp contrast.
