| Obverse description | The obverse depicts Osiris in high relief, shown as a partially mummified deity wearing the Atef crown and a broad collar necklace, holding the crook and flail crossed over his chest. To his left, the Eye of Ra and a winged deity are visible in the field, while a cartouche appears to his right. The antique finish enhances the deep sculptural detail of the design. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts the fully mummified figure of Osiris standing upright on a plinth before a large pyramid rendered in fine stonework detail, flanked by columns of hieroglyphic inscriptions. Four canopic jars — each with a distinct stopper representing the four sons of Horus — are arranged at the base of the plinth. Additional hieroglyphic text fills the lower border of the field. |
