What is Osiris and Lunar Symbolism in Egypt about?

This article discusses iconographic evidence that connects the Egyptian god Osiris with the moon. It identifies 7 bronze figures from various collections that bear the inscription "Osiris-Irh", combining Osiris with the moon god. The figures all depict Osiris in his typical mummiform pose holding the crook and flail symbols, and also feature a lunar disc and crescent moon headdress. This provides unequivocal evidence of an association between Osiris and the moon in Egyptian religion.
