| Reverse description | The Canopic jar (Canopus) of Osiris-Serapis depicted facing right, shown as a rounded vessel with a human head surmounted by the atef crown, the body decorated with a necklace of pellets and a scaled or beaded lower portion. The figure is set within a dotted border, with the regnal year legend L Β (year 2) disposed in the field, L to the left and Β to the right of the type. The reverse is characteristic of Alexandrian civic religious iconography celebrating the syncretic Osirian cult. |
