Relief of the #ancient #Egyptian goddess #Repit (or Repyt).
She is depicted with a human body, the head of a #lion and the #solar disc on her head with the #Uraeus #snake attached to its front.
Her #temple was located at the ancient town Hut-Repyt, modern Sohag. The Greeks later renamed the town to #Athribis and the #goddess to #Triphis
You can read much(!) more about Repyt-Triphis here:

An #ancient #statuette of #Osiris
Osiris is most often represented as a shrouded #mummy emphasizing his connection with the dead.
He holds a #flail and a short shepherd’s crook, insignia associated with Egyptian kingship, and wears a long, braided beard, emblematic of divinity.
On the front of his tall #crown is a #uraeus - a #cobra ready to spit fire at his enemies.
664–332 BC
Leaded #Bronze
45.7 × 13 cm
61.45, The Metropolitan Museum of Art
