Priest of Isis

Source of record: Walters Art Museum (Egyptian) — catalogued by the holding institution. View the original record →

Description

<p>Discovered with other objects of both Greek and Roman styles, this statuette's careful attention to detail shows the stimulating cross-influences found in objects made in Alexandrian workshops. The priest is fully wrapped in his garment in the Egyptian manner. As he holds his wrapped hands forward, he creates a pocket in the drapery that may have held another object, possibly a bowl for ritual purposes.</p><p>For the latest information about this object, <cite><a href='https://purl.thewalters.org/art/54.709' rel='external'>Priest of Isis</a></cite>, visit the Online Collection of the Walters Art Museum.</p>
