Neck — Diospolis Parva

Connector between head and trunk

The anatomical identity is the neck, the narrow connector between the recovered head and trunk. Diospolis Parva is the relic-site claim rendered here because the Dendera text records a local divine-relic Osiris and burial rite there; it does not call that relic a neck, so the body placement is a cautious synthesis.
