Left hand — Sais

Anatomical left; protective and ritual counterpart

The anatomical identity is Osiris's left hand, placed on anatomical-left (the image's right) as the paired counterpart to the working hand. Sais is the relic-site claim rendered here because it is a named local Osiris centre in the late ritual geography; the surviving text does not make a left-hand assignment, so this point carries broad uncertainty.

The Saite nome is named in the divine-relic ritual geography and has a distinct Osiris form; the text does not identify a hand.
