Description

<p>Isis was one of the most popular goddesses in Ancient Egypt. She was the goddess of kingship, wife of the mythical king and lord of the Netherworld, Osiris, and the mother of Horus. Her magical powers were unequalled and could even overcome death. This figure shows Isis with the crown of the goddess Hathor, who was often associated with Isis. The crown is composed of cow-horns and a sun-disk.</p><p>For the latest information about this object, <cite><a href='https://purl.thewalters.org/art/57.1425' rel='external'>Isis/ Hathor</a></cite>, visit the Online Collection of the Walters Art Museum.</p>

Machine-generated from the object's image on Jul 2026. Not curatorial; treat deities, names, and signs below as the model's best reading, not authority.

Silver-cast figure of a female deity shown wearing a broad wig/headdress and a tall crown/attire, with a stylized uraeus-like element on the head.

The image shows a vertically oriented, cast-metal (catalogued as silver cast) figurine. The figure stands upright with a smooth, rounded head and a prominent headdress: a broad, collar-like band at the forehead and a high crown element behind/above the head. In front, the face is rendered in relief with large, defined eyes and a central nose; the mouth is small and downturned. The upper register includes a vertical, feather-like or finial element rising above the forehead, which may correspond to an Egyptian goddess crown detail, though exact identification of specific iconographic subtypes is unclear from this view alone. The torso is covered by a long, vertically patterned garment indicated by incised/relief lines on the chest and abdomen. No clearly legible hieroglyphs, cartouches, or letters are visible in the photograph. No modern text is present.
