Description: | Osiris was an Egyptian god of the dead. Freud had this bronze statuette in front of his eyes on his desk while writing "Moses and Monotheism". He writes that Osiris was so popular among the ancient Egyptians because they denied death. His collection of antiquities includes eighteen Osiris figures. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Freud Museum London | Rights holder: | Freud Museum London | Subjects: | Art and Design | Temporal: | 3rd Intermediate Period 1075-715 BC or Late Period 15-332 BC | Source: | Freud Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
