Statutette of Isis and Horus

Cleveland Museum of Art

The bronze statue depicts Isis and Horus. Isis, the woman, stands with her feet shoulder-width apart on a rectangular base. She wears a long, possibly pleated, skirt and a long wig. Her left arm cradles Horus, who sits on her left hip. Horus, depicted as a child, has one leg extended behind him. Isis's right arm supports Horus's back. On Isis's head is a solar disk with two curved horns protruding upwards. The statue has a green and brown patina, indicating age. The background is dark at the top, fading to light gray at the bottom.
