Left leg and foot — Abydos

Anatomical left; pilgrimage and burial ground

The anatomical identity is Osiris's left lower limb, including leg and foot, placed on anatomical-left (the image's right). Abydos is the relic-site claim rendered here because both Plutarch and Dendera preserve its central Osirian burial and relic role; neither text identifies a left leg there, so the point remains a medium-fidelity synthesis.

Plutarch, De Iside et Osiride §§18, 20 (secondary_translation)

Plutarch reports funeral/tomb traditions at Abydos and the scattering of fourteen parts, but not a left-leg assignment.

Mysteries of Osiris at Dendera (primary_canonical)

Abydos is a major site in the divine-relic ritual sequence; the limb pairing is an editorial convention.
