介绍（中）	奥西里斯是埃及陪葬神中最重要的一位，也是黑社会的统治者，他坐着，穿着一件贴身的罩衣。这件衣服紧贴着他的手臂和肩膀的轮廓。他的眼睛被深深地切开，以增加镀金或镶嵌，脖子后面有一个悬挂环。他双手交叉放在胸前，握住皇家的弯刀和连枷。奥西里斯的铜合金雕像通常表现出三种手臂姿势之一：右拳在左上方不对称，拳头接触对称，双臂交叉。后一种位置，如图所示，是三种位置中最不常见的，但仍然经常使用。为什么这些手臂位置如此一致，以及它们与车间实践、时间变化或邪教概念之间的关系尚不清楚到公元前一千年，像这样的奥西里斯小雕像是埃及最丰富的寺庙供奉物之一，既反映了神的重要性，也反映了不断变化的邪教习俗，促使人们大规模奉献神雕像。许多奥西里斯的雕像都是在属于他的寺庙和神殿中供奉的，但它们也在其他地方被发现，例如在纪念其他著名神的寺庙和神殿附近或动物墓地
介绍（英）	Osiris, foremost of the Egyptian funerary gods and ruler of the underworld, is shown sitting and wearing a close-fitting enveloping garment. The garment hugs the contours of his arms and shoulders. His eyes are deep cut for the addition of gilding or inlay, and a suspension loop is positioned at the back of the neck. He holds the royal crook and flail with his arms crossed on his chest. Copper alloy statuettes of Osiris generally exhibit one of three arm positions: asymmetrical with the right fist over the left, symmetrical with the fists touching, and arms crossed. The latter position, seen here, is the least common of the three but still frequently utilized. Why these arm positions are so consistently represented and how they relate to workshop practices, chronological changes, or conceptions of cult is unknown. Osiris statuettes such as this one were some of the most abundant temple offerings in Egypt by the first millennium B.C., reflecting both the god’s importance and changing cult practices that spurred the wide-scale dedication of deity statuettes. Many statues of Osiris were offered in temples and shrines belonging to him, but they have also been found in other contexts, for example near temples and shrines honoring other prominent deities or in animal necropoleis
