Isis and Horus

Faience statuette of Isis and Horus. For the ancient Egyptians the image of the goddess Isis nursing her son Horus was a powerful symbol of rebirth. On the goddess's head is the throne hieroglyph that represents her name. She also wears a vulture head-covering reserved for queens and goddesses. Following ancient conventions for indicating childhood, Horus is naked and wears a single lock of hair on the right side of his head. Ptolemaic Period, 332–30 B.C., Egypt.
