An ancient Egyptian large bronze bust of the goddess Isis from an aegis, wearing a crown of urauei over a striated wig, eyes recessed to receive inlay, hinged at the back.
Isis was the wife of Osiris, protector and patron of women, and model of conjugal love. She is often depicted suckling the infant Harpokrates. Later regarded as a healer, she became associated with Demeter, Aphrodite, and Hathor.
