This is the rating and price for Romano Egyptian Terracotta Isis Fragment

Description : Egypt, Romano-Egyptian Period, ca. 30 BCE to 2nd century CE. A molded terracotta head of the goddess Isis, chief female deity in Ancient Egypt. The face is naturalistic and she wears a huge Egyptian style crown with the sun motif associated with Egyptian royalty, however, the artistic style is purely Roman. Isis is sometimes given elements that relate her to Fortuna, the goddess of fortune and luck to the Romans, the mixture of goddesses and their attributes gives us an idea of the rich cultural milieu that existed in the central and eastern Mediterranean during this dynamic period. People chose the deity or the attributes of similar deities who they thought could bring them what they wanted, or who they identified with, and religion seems to have been fluid rather than dogmatic.
