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.
