Item No. 3035S
Reproduction after Museum Original from the Tomb of Seti I, Valley of the Kings. Luxor, Egypt 1280
B.C.
This sculpture shows Isis with her wings extended in a pose of protection. 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 him and mourned him
together with her sister Nephtys. Isis was regarded as the "Eye of Ra" and was worshiped as the
"Great of Magic" who had protected her son Horus from snakes, predators and other dangers; thus
she would protect mortal children also. In the New Kingdom Isis was closely connected with
Hathor whose physical attributes, the cow's horns and sun-disk she adopted.
