Seated Isis Figure with Child Horus
Published 2019-03-07T13:58:19+00:00
Description
Countless bronze figures of Isis nursing her son Horus exist from the later periods of ancient Egypt. The wife of Osiris represented both the feminine ideal and the grandmother of the royal heir. During the first millennium BC, she was the object of a strong religious fervor, as illustrated in her Nubian temple on the island of Philae and the expansion of her cult around the entire Mediterranean basin.
