Description
Amulet of Isis. An amulet in relief of the goddess Isis seated, facing right, holding and nursing her son Horus. Moulded in opaque brown glass, matt finish. As usual, the hieroglyph for the goddess's name is on the top of her head. Exceptionally fine detail on the headdress, garment and the throne of the goddess.
