Seated figure of Isis nursing (identifiable by the so-called ‘Isis lactans’ motif). The figure of Harpocrates is missing. The goddess wears a hathoric crown, consisting of a solar disc between cow horns, resting on a stylised uraeiform modius. The solar disc with horns was cast separately and subsequently fitted. Isis wears a tripartite wig decorated with vertical streaks and surmounted by the vulture headdress: its head is prominent and its talons hold shen rings. The eye contours and eyebrows are inlaid with a dark, almost black material of uncertain nature; the pupils are inlaid with the same material, while the sclerae are inlaid with a light-gold metal, probably electrum. The goddess has a broad collar and wears an ankle-length, tight-fitting dress. Isis brings her right hand to her left breast, while the left arm is bent at a right angle in front and connected to the leg by a bronze support. The right hand probably held the head of the figure of Harpocrates, now missing. On the thighs, a raised, squared U-shaped element is present, serving as the interlocking element for the figure of Harpocrates. The feet rest on a hollow rectangular base, from which a square-section tenon projects down. The statue is mounted on a modern wooden base. The object is made in the lost-wax technique for solid casts.
