Right eye — Heliopolis

Anatomical right; solar cult centre

The anatomical identity is Osiris's right eye, placed on anatomical-right (the image's left) side of the face. Heliopolis is the relic-site claim rendered here because the Dendera ritual geography names a Heliopolitan Osiris; the text does not pair an eye with that city, so the projection is intentionally uncertain.

Sources

Mysteries of Osiris at Dendera (primary_canonical)

Heliopolis is one of the named divine-relic nomes and has a local Great Prince of Osiris; the inscription does not name an eye as its relic.

Plutarch, De Iside et Osiride §§18, 51 (secondary_translation)

Plutarch gives the dismemberment count and separately uses the eye as an Osirian emblem; the city assignment here is synthetic.
