Egyptian Museum, Cairo, Dynasty XIX, 1300 B.C.

The name Isis means “seat” or “throne”. She was regarded as the
symbolical mother of the King. In myth, she sought her dead husband
and brother, Osiris, conceived her son Horus by him, buried and
mourned him together with her sister Nephtys. Isis was regarded as
the “Eye of Ra” and was worshipped as the “Great of Magic” who had
protected her son Horus from snakes, predators and other dangers:
thus she would protect mortal children also. Isis is here depicted
as a mother suckling her young son Horus and it is in this aspect
that the Goddess was regarded as the vital link between Deities and
Royalty, since the King was regarded as the living Horus on the
throne of Egypt. In the pyramid texts it’s stated that the ruler
drinks divine milk from the breast of his mother Isis: This is the
imagery of the plethora of statuettes of Isis seated on a throne
suckling the young Horus who sits in her lap.
