Bronze casts of gods figurines were not available to everyone, therefore a set of such figurines is a rare find in Saqqara cemetery. Only one of these figurines, representing the sacred Apis bull, was found intact; the others had to be restored from dozens of tiny fragments. Several statuettes depict Osiris – the god of dead and afterlife, who is represented as a mummified figure in the atef crown with two ostrich plumes.
