Current Research in Egyptology XIV

Description

Ptah-Sokar-Osiris figures constitute a distinguishing feature of interments dating from the end of the Third Intermediate Period onwards. Since the dawn of Egyptology, scholars have attempted to categorise these artefacts into rough typological classes, while a first important contribution was finally published at the end of the seventies.

This paper, in the context of my study research, intended to present particular key elements which led to the identification of what may be regarded as a new typological group of Ptah-Sokar-Osiris figures. More specifically, the aim of this contribution was to outline the main relevant features of this group, to provide a brief side-by-side analysis with other significant typological specimens, and to finally formulate a hypothesis regarding its premature decline.
