Egyptian Museum, Cairo Dynasty XVIII, 1347-1337 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 is dressed like a
queen. The Khat headdress adorns the head and tumbles down over the
back, a large collar covers the shoulders. The pleated shawl is tied
at the waist, partially covering the elegant, long pleated robe tied
with hanging sashes. Isis turns her head slightly to one side as if
to ward off some danger.
