The Louvre Museum, France. 18th Dynasty 1450 B.C.

This sculpture was dedicated to the great triad of Horus, Osiris and
Isis, who appear in the upper panel, with Titiaa, high priest of
Amun, and his wife Aoui kneeling below to offer gifts of fruits and
flowers. Osiris wears the Atef crown and carries the royal crook and
flail, while his son Horus is represented as a falcon-headed man,
Isis has the cow's horns and the sun disk that she adopted from
Hathor in the New Kingdom. Osiris was the God of the underworld and
resuscitation while his sister and wife Isis was considered the
symbolical mother of the Pharaoh and was worshipped as the "Great of
Magic" and regarded as the "Eye of Ra". Their son Horus is
traditionally considered the first Pharaoh of Egypt and at later
times, the spiritual king where the Pharaoh is only his
representative on Earth
