Osiris Pendant, Silver

Reconstruction of a well preserved Osiris pendant of the roman era. The cult of this god of the underworld and his wife Isis was celebrated until the rise of christianity in the roman world. Figures of Osiris in shape of a mummy were found all over the empire. Temples of Isis were found in Pompei and Mainz (Germany). Our Osiris pendant is only slightly reconstructed and has got an eyelet to be worn as a pendant. Size 78x23mm, massive 925 silver. Picture 2 shows the original find.
