- Lot Description
Egypt, Ptolemaic to Romano-Egyptian period, ca. 30 BCE to 200 CE. A wonderful example of a mold-formed faience amulet depicting Isis, the goddess of healing and magic, with her infant son Horus. The wife of Osiris rests upon a petite throne and wears an ankle-length skirt, with one hand cupping her exposed breast and the other supporting her son's head. Isis also dons her traditional vulture headdress, representative of the goddess Mut, as well as a pair of bull horns flanking a sun disk that represents the goddess Hathor. An integral suspension loop protrudes from behind the tall headdress, and the entire amulet is enveloped in lustrous glaze of a stunning turquoise hue. Size: 1.3" W x 2.9" H (3.3 cm x 7.4 cm); 3.7" H (9.4 cm) on included custom stand.
For a strikingly similar example, please see The Metropolitan Museum of Art, accession number 74.51.4476.
Provenance: ex-private Chicago, Illinois, USA collection; ex-private Cleveland, Ohio, USA estate collection, purchased from Susette Khayat Ancient Arts Gallery, New York, USA, on May 17, 1960
