The syncretized god Sokar-Osiris. His iconography combines that of Osiris (atef-crown, crook and flail) and Sokar (hawk head, was-sceptre).

Sokar (/ˈsɛkər/; also spelled Seker, and in Greek, Sokaris or Socharis) is a hawk or falcon god of the Memphite necropolis in the Ancient Egyptian religion, who was known as a patron of the living, as well as a god of the resurrected dead. He is also in some accounts a solar deity as for The Temple of Sokar in Memphis.
