Product information "Head of the patron goddess Isis"
'I am all that was, all that is and all that will be...' is how an inscription on one of her countless statues characterises the 'magic realm' and 'goddess with the 10,000 names'. To the Egyptians, she was above all the goddess of motherhood, womanhood and childbirth. She was regarded as the mother goddess and patron goddess of the reigning pharaoh. This figure was one of the four protective goddesses who guarded the shrine containing the entrails of the mummified Tutankhamun. The goddesses were supposed to protect the pharaoh in the afterlife and ward off danger. The shrine with the goddesses was discovered in a room directly next to the coffin chamber. Egypt, New Kingdom, 18th Dynasty, around 1335 B.C. Original: Egyptian Museum, Cairo, Treasure of Tutankhamun Hand-gilded, polymer sculpture model. Height incl. wooden base 45 cm. With certificate.
