His step mother Hatshepsut was regent until he was old enough to become pharaoh but then Hatshepsut seized the throne and ruled herself as pharaoh in his place. Thutmose was denied his throne until Hatshepsut died more than 20 years later. Thutmose was a man in a hurry when he finally took power to the throne.

Osiris Research Paper

Since Osiris is the ruler of the Underworld, it is both common and logical that the ancient Egyptians would associate him with funerals, tombs, and mortuary practices. Therefore, it is likely that Ptahirdis had this statue of Osiris because of Osiris’s association with the Underworld.
