Intaglio with Isis and Attributes of Herakles
Description
<p>This intaglio depicts the goddess Isis with the club and lion skin of the hero Herakles. The Egyptian goddess Isis was worshiped as an ideal mother, wife, and protector of the dead. Her devotion was introduced into the rest of the Roman world at an early date. Her assimilation is here suggested by the her association with these attributes of Herakles.</p><p>For the latest information about this object, <cite><a href='https://purl.thewalters.org/art/42.397' rel='external'>Intaglio with Isis and Attributes of Herakles</a></cite>, visit the Online Collection of the Walters Art Museum.</p>
