Freestanding statues of male figures, which were made in the Archaic period, are called Kouros.  

Egyptian dead was presided over by the god Osiris.

Explanation:

Kouros is a freestanding male statue. The kouros was the principal form of male statues in the Archaic period between 650 and 480 BC. The most famous are the Greeks and Egypt. These figures sometimes were in free size, some much larger. The kouros represents a figure with no cloth, with long hair and a lack of facial hair indicates young men in the prime of their lives.

Osiris was one of the most important gods in Egyptian Civilization. Osiris is known as a god of the underworld, judge of the death, agriculture and fertility.
