Légende
Isis and Horus. Bronze Egyptian Deities, 7th century BC-6th century BC. Isis' name is first attested in the fifth dynasty in the Pyramid texts. She was the wife of Osiris and the mother of Horus. The large number of Isis statuettes in this particular pose demonstrate some of the qualities for which Isis was most valued in the first millennium BC: her role as a life-giver and protector.
