In ancient Egyptian mythology, the Ptah-Sokar_Osiris figures were tomb images. In art, Sokar took the form of a sparrow hawk. The god Ptah was honored as the protector of everything that was created and was often represented as a man wearing horns, a solar disk, and feathers (as the main figure is here). Sokar and Osiris were patrons of the deceased.
