This figure represents a god of resurrection, Ptah-Sokar-Osiris.

This figure represents a god of resurrection, Ptah-Sokar-Osiris, who was a combination of three gods: Ptah, a creator god, Sokar, a god of the underworld, and Osiris, a god representing resurrection and rebirth. Sokar aided in the passage of the sun through the underworld during the hours of the night, enabling it to be reborn at dawn the next day. The combination of all three gods into one illustrates the entire cycle of birth, death, and resurrection. The statuette here retains the characteristic headdress of the god, a combination of the double plume, ram horns, and the solar disk. A funerary papyrus, now missing, was likely contained within the base of the statue.
