| Reverse description | A dramatic high-relief composition depicts the Egyptian god Osiris as a menacing armoured figure, shown frontally in full figure, wearing the Atef crown and elaborate layered ceremonial regalia. Osiris extends one arm outward and grips a pair of golden was-sceptres rendered in selective gold gilding, which form the visual focal point of the design. Flanking the deity are animated mummified figures in various states of reanimation, set within a darkened Egyptian temple interior featuring hieroglyph-covered pillars and a sacrificial altar. Scarab beetles and serpents are scattered across the lower field, enhancing the scene's ominous atmosphere. The legend 'GODS OF ANGER' arcs along the upper left rim, and 'OSIRIS' appears at the upper right. |
