Isis and Harpokrates (Horus the Child)
(Ancient Egypt and Nubia )
Isis is seated on a throne holding Harpokrates in her lap, with her feet on a footstool. The goddess wears a long garment, wig, and her crown consists of a vulture cap, ring of uraei, cow's horns, and a sun-disc. The throne consists of a block surmounted by a cornice, with striding lions for arms; the tails of the lions curve over the back of the throne.
