第二十六王朝,桑提克一世在位期間(約公元前664年至610年)
26th Dynasty, reign of Psammetik I(circa 664-610 BC)
康士迪斯穿着典型祭司的服飾。他剃光了頭髮,並在麻布衣裳外披上一件豹皮,突顯其喪葬祭司的身份。他的軀幹上描繪了葬禮之神歐西里斯,而短裙上刻畫了康士迪斯朝拜歐西里斯的場景。他手中本應手持一個可能是歐西里斯的神像,但現在只剩下底座。

Khonsirdis wears the typical trappings of a priest. His head is shaved and he wears a leopard skin on top of his linen clothing, a symbol of the sem-priests known for their role in funerary rituals. The funerary god Osiris is portrayed on his torso and a scene on his kilt shows Khonsirdis worshipping Osiris. He would originally have held a divine image, perhaps also of Osiris, but only the plinth remains.
