This large feather would have been attached to a wooden statue of Osiris. The Atef crown identified Osiris, god of the underworld, in Ancient Egyptian symbolism. The two ostrich feathers adorning the crown represent truth, justice, morality, equilibrium and the cult centre of Osiris in Abydos. The ostrich feather was also associated with Ma'at.
