Osiris (Greek: Ὄσιρις) is an Egyptian god, generally identified as the god of the afterlife, the underworld and the dead. His original form is that of a green-skinned man dressed as a pharaoh. He is often depicted wearing the atef crown with a pair of ram horns at its base, and holding a Heqa scepter, or crook, and a flail.
