This
sculpture shows Isis with her wings extended in a pose of protection, often
used to protect her son Horus or her husband Osiris. The name Isis means
"Seat" or "Throne". She was regarded as the symbolical
mother of the King.
In
myth she sought her dead husband and brother, Osiris, conceived her son Horus
by him, buried and mourned him together with her sister Nephtys. Isis was
regarded as the “Eye of Ra” and was worshipped as the "Great
of Magic" who had protected her son Horus from snakes, predators and other
dangers; thus she would protect mortal children also. In the New Kingdom Isis
was closely connected with Hathor whose physical attributes, the cow's horns
and sun-disk she adopted.
