Seated figure of Isis suckling Harpocrates (identifiable with the so-called ‘Isis lactans’ motif). The goddess is wearing a uraeiform modius with a recess for fitting the upper part of the crown, which is missing. The goddess has a wig composed of locks and decorated with a vulture headdress. However, instead of the vulture head, there is a uraeus crowned with cow horns and a solar disc. The eyebrows and eyes of the goddess are recessed for the now-missing inlays. The goddess has a collar composed of four plain bands and drop-shaped pendants and she is wearing an ankle-length, tight-fitting dress. Isis brings her right hand to her left breast, while her left hand probably held Harpocrates’ head, now missing. An irregular crack runs along the figure, under the wig and on the abdomen; in fact, the object probably broke into two parts and has been recently repaired. There was a lacuna on the upper part of the right thigh, likely caused by the detachment of the figure of Harpocrates. This lacuna has been retouched in modern times. A rectangular tenon is present under the buttocks. Two other rectangular tenons project down from the feet. The object is made in the lost-wax technique for hollow casts.
