Statuette of Isis with Horus

00333-076.jpg

A statuette of the goddess Isis sitting with her son Horus on her lap. The head of the goddess is surmounted by the throne-shaped emblem. She wears a tripartite wig, two uraei rendered in relief on her forehead, and a long clinging dress. She holds her right hand to her left breast and supports the naked Horus with her left arm. Horus wears the tress of childhood; his arms are along his sides, and his legs are together. Isis sits on a throne in the form of a paralelepiped carrying incised hieroglyphic motifs on its sides. The throne rests on a base in the form of a paralelepiped.
