The figure of the god Osiris is paradigmatic of the ancient Egyptian culture, connected with both kingship and religion, whose analysis also today shed light on interesting aspects of the Egyptian world. This volume collects contributions presented during the two days International Conference “Rethinking Osiris” took place in Florence, Italy, from the 26 to 27 March 2019. Any article reflects the variety and complexity of the Osiriac topics discussed during the conference, providing a foundation for deeper research and questions, introducing new perspectives from which to reconsider Osiris pivotal and multifaceted function, which attracted so much interest during the millennia and rethinking Osiris at the dawn of the Third Millennium.

Among the wide collection of the bronze figurines preserved at the Petrie Museum, UC 8033 represents Osiris with an iconography rarely attested: the representation on the back of a falcon with a sun disc and with wings wrapping the body of the figure. Unfortunately, the figurine is unprovenanced and no other information are preserved in the museum. This paper presents also five other Osiris figurines (1- BM EA 24718; 2- Brooklyn Museum, inv. no. 39.93; 3- MMA 56.16.2; 4- CG 38270; 5- Statuette from a private collection – unknown location –), which show close parallels
in iconography, design, and composition with UC 8033. Furthermore, the peculiar iconography of the falcon on the back is not exclusively used for Osiris, but it is in use also for other statuettes, mainly representing goddesses, such as Neith and Isis, and high social rank women, such as
the famous statue of Karomama (Louvre N 500). The chronological range of UC 8033 seems to be circumscribed to the time between the Third Intermediate Period and the early Twenty-six Dynasty.

Publication of two objects in the Cairo Museum: a kneeling naophorous statue (CG 670) and an Osiris statuette (JE 37031). Both objects belong to Pedesi who served as a chamberlain of the divine adoratress, and can be dated on stylistic grounds to the transitional period between the Kushite and the early Saite Dynasty. CG 670 is an excellent example of the artistic trends of its period, and JE 37031 introduces a specific aspect of Osiris as “lord of light” or “luminary.” The article deals with the stylistic details of both sculptures, along with an analysis of their inscriptions.
