EWS-E-037SP-Isis relief

Temple of Kalabsha, Egypt. 300 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. The ancient Egyptians
regarded the Goddess as the “Eye of Ra”. Here she carries the ankh
and the papyrus sceptre of Goddesses; the horns and sun disk of
Hathor and the hieroglyph for the name Isis on top of the sun-disk.
She wears a feather dress and a headdress composed of a vulture,
showing that she was identified with Mut.
