During restoration work being carried out on the eastern side of the
King Djoser Step Pyramid, in Saqqara, Egypt, archaeologists discovered a
statuette of Osiris.
Head of the Saqqara archaeological site, Sabri Farag said that the
statuette was discovered in a small crevasse between the huge blocks of
the pyramid’s eastern façade.
The statuette depicts Osiris, the god of resurrection and eternity,
with the double crown, holding a feather in one hand and a sceptre in
the other.
