A Egyptian Stone Plaque Representing Isis & Horus.

This depiction of Isis presents the goddess in two significant forms: seated alone on a throne with the child Horus or kneeling before a coffin, her head adorned with the hieroglyph of a king. As a central figure in Egyptian mythology, Isis is portrayed as deeply involved in human affairs rather than just agricultural concerns. Her roles encompass a mourner who plays a pivotal part in funeral rites, a sorceress known for healing the sick and resurrecting the dead, and a mother symbolizing the essence of life.

Approximately 24.8cm x 18.3cm

Provenance: Private UK collection.
