Beschreibung
Figure of Isis. Egypt, Saita period, Dynasties XXVI to XXX (663-341 BC).
Bronze with green oxidised patina.
In good state of preservation.
Attached is a report issued in the 1970s by Ricardo Batista Noguera, former director of the Archaeological Museum of Barcelona, of the Archaeological Museum of Olérdola (Barcelona), of the Archaeological Museum of Catalonia and municipal archaeologist of Tossa de Mar.
Attached is a photocopy of the purchase invoice from 1984.
Provenance: Private collection in Barcelona
Measurements: 18.5 cm (height of the sculpture); 23 cm (height with base)
Representation of the goddess Isis seated and in the act of suckling the god Horus. She is wearing the Hathorica diadem. The hairstyle is tripartite with horizontal striations on the top of the head. The goddess holds, seated on her knees, the little god Horus, identified by the braid on his head. These bronzes had exclusively a votive value and have been found in large numbers near the most important temples in Egypt. Pilgrims carried and deposited these votive offerings to give thanks to the gods.
Isis is part of the Osirian triad together with her husband Osiris and her son Horus, called the great magician, great mother goddess and queen of the gods, considered the fertilising force of nature and goddess of motherhood and birth. Her main iconographic symbol is the throne, although she can also be represented with a headdress with the solar disc, as she is the daughter of Ra, and with the wings of a dove. She can also take the form of a tree, as a nurturing goddess. From the beginning of the 18th Dynasty she will also be depicted with the horns and moon of Hathor, the Ankh and other symbols. A widespread iconography of Isis depicts her with Harpocrates, the infant form of Horus, on her lap. Harpocrates symbolises the weak sun of dawn or the winter sun, naked and unprotected. Just as this sun is transformed into a powerful star, the weak child will become the adult Horus, armed and warlike, who will avenge the death of his father, Osiris.
