Description
Ancient Egyptian bronze statue of the Goddess Isis, 664 BCE - 30 CE, now in the collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
From the object’s description on artsmia.org:
Isis is the sacred mother figure of ancient Egypt, known as the Mother Goddess, with a dramatic backstory: to conceive her son, she resurrected her murdered husband. In this statuette, Isis holds Harpocrates—the child Horus—to her breast, a position that represents the mother figure as the nurturer and protector of humankind.
