Pendant, Isis with Horus the Child
7th-4th century BCE (Late Period-Ptolemaic)
The surface of this large silver pendant representing the goddess Isis nursing Horus-the-Child has deteriorated. She wears a wig with the "uraeus" over her forehead and a small crown on top of which are horns with a disk in between. There is a large suspension loop behind the headdress.
