Seated Figure of the Goddess Isis
View through Harvard Museums
Wooden figure of the goddess Isis seated on a throne. The proper right hand holds the breast, the left arm is extended. This pose suggests that Isis was originally suckling a (now lost) infant Horus seated on her lap. The wooden statuette is entirely gilt (gilding partly refreshed in modern times?), with black paint outlining the eyes. Isis wears a Hathor crown of bronze, consisting of a sundisk between two cow horns.
