A reproduction of a relief featuring the Egyptian divine triad of Osiris, Isis, and Horus. The original diorite figure dates back to 1300 B.C., early in the 19th Dynasty, and is on display at the Louvre Museum. It comes from a detail on a stele from the tomb of Dedia, master craftsman of Amun. It depicts the three main deities of the Egyptian pantheon: Osiris, Isis, and Horus. Surrounding the figures, hieroglyphs of the three gods are engraved, as well as those of the vulture goddess Nekhbet, the four stellar deities, and the city of Abydos, the primary place of worship for the god Osiris.

The gods represented, from right to left, are:

• Isis, goddess of motherhood, life, and magic. She is depicted with a throne or steps on her head, or with cow horns and the solar disk, as in this case.
• Osiris, god of fertility, death, and resurrection, king of the afterlife and judge in the judgment of souls. He appears mummified and wearing the white crown.
• Horus, son of the previous two, with a falcon head and the double royal crown of Lower and Upper Egypt, protector god of royalty.
