Osiris (Wesir, Asar) is an Egyptian god associated with the afterlife, underworld, death and rebirth. He is the husband of Isis (Aset) and the father of Horus the Younger (Heru-sa-Aset).

The origin of Osiris’ worship is lost to time and thus uncertain, but he was widely worshipped and is known to have had a significant center of worship at Abydos and at Busiris; he was also part of the Heliopolitan Ennead.

Osiris is depicted here with green skin, representing rebirth and resurrection. He is wrapped in white like a mummy and carries the crook (symbolizing sovereignty) and flail (symbolizing fertility). He wears the atef crown that is uniquely his, consisting of the white crown (hedjet) of upper Egypt between two ostrich feathers; the ostrich feather is the symbol of Ma’at, goddess of truth and order

Osiris, beautiful one who rests upon Ma’at,
lord of the silent lands, I praise and honor you.
