This film shows the restoration of an Osiris statuette (exceptional because of its height), dating from the 25th or 26th Egyptian dynasty. The first operation consists in describing very precisely the exterior aspect of the statuette. Then a cleaning of its surface is done. Finally, a detailed study of its production and its decoration is done.
