Kneeling Isis Relief | |
|
Temple of Abydos,
Egypt. Dynasty XIX,
1371 B.C.
This sculpture shows
Isis kneeling and
making an offering of
the ankh, the symbol
of life. 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
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.
In the New Kingdom
Isis was closely
connected with Hathor
whose physical
attributes, the cow's
horns and sun-disk
she adopted.
