Description
In the mythology of Egypt, Isis was the protective mother goddess whose lap was a metaphor for the throne of the kingdom, while the infant Horus was represented on earth by the living Pharaoh. Such statues were symbols for the strength and stability of Egypt itself, nurtured by the eternal mother. Although the persons depicted are divine, this beautiful work of art still presents a universal image of tender maternity. - (FZ.019)
