Mourning Isis

1584.JPG

The goddess is shown kneeling on a rectangular pedestal which has been decorated with a stylized palace facade. She is wearing a long dress, a smooth wig and upon her head is a throne, which is the symbol for her name. Her right hand is raised in front of her face in a gesture of mourning, and her left hand is placed on her thigh.
