Descripción : Egypt, Late Dynastic to Ptolemaic Period, ca. 664 to 30 BCE. A skillfully cast copper alloy (bronze) figure depicting Isis - goddess of healing and magic - as she nurses her son, Horus, in her lap. Displayed in a seated position, Isis presents with bare feet placed atop an integral plinth, wearing a knee-length skirt, and grasping one exposed breast with her hand to position it near Horus' face. Isis' face protrudes outward above her breasts and features almond-shaped eyes, a full nose and lips, and cupped ears, all beneath a large tripartite wig with a frontal uraeus cobra, long lappets, a crown of uraeus cobras, and a pair of Hathoric horns flanking a sun disc. Horus faces nude to Isis' right side, has both arms draped down his sides, and wears the Pschent crown that symbolizes the unification via divine authority of Upper and Lower Egypt.
