Statuette of Isis and Horus

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Statuette of Isis and Horus depicts a green, aged bronze or copper alloy figurine. The statuette features two main figures stacked vertically. The top figure is a woman with long hair wearing a crown or headdress consisting of a disk between two tall, curved horns. Her facial features are visible with the mouth closed and nose present. She wears a dress or robe covering her upper body. The lower figure appears to be a child with their right leg bent and raised, sitting on the woman's left hip. The child has one arm bent near their body. The woman's arms are positioned across her body, with her left arm appearing to support or cradle the child. The statuette's base is flat and rectangular. A small, possibly square or rectangular hole is visible near the bottom center. The background of the image fades from dark at the top to light gray at the bottom.
