THE MYTH AND IMPORTANCE OF OSIRIS

Osiris is traditionally depicted as a bearded man whose legs are mummified. He is often seeing wearing a pointed crown with ostrich feathers and holding a crook and flail.

The crook is thought to represent Osiris as a shepherd god, but the symbolism of the flail is more uncertain.

He is commonly depicted as a pharaoh with a complexion of either green - the color of rebirth - or black, alluding to the fertility of the Nile floodplain.
