Quicktime

Some vestiges of the throne-shaped emblem, identical with the hieroglyph (st) used to write the name of the goddess Isis (Ist), are preserved above the head of the statue. The goddess wears a striped tripartite wig ending with a ribbon and a uraeus flanked by two coils on her forehead. The statue has a back-pillar carrying a column of hieroglyphs.
