Title: Isis nursing Horus

Caption: Isis was the wife of Osiris and the mother of Horus, and was symbolically mother to the pharaoh. She is nearly always depicted in anthropomorphic form, standing or seated on a throne. This statuette shows the goddess nursing Horus. She wears a horned crown, as well as the vulture headdress that emphasized the role of goddesses as royal mothers. Bronze or copper alloy, ca. 1070–343 B.C, Egypt.
