"Isis Nursing the Child Horus" small bronze sculpture, Egypt, New Kingdom from the 18th Dynasty (1550-1295 BC) The goddess Isis becomes the most important goddess in the Egyptian pantheon from the New Empire., where she begins to be represented as the mother of the child she fathered by her dead husband Osiris and whom she raised to throw him against the murderous and traitorous brother Seth. This model is very repeated, with the goddess seated on the throne with the crown of the goddess Hathor, the solar disk and the uraeus. In this case, it has lost the crown and only retains the uraeus. It is an iconography that will be adopted by Christians for La Virgen de la Leche. On iron base. Attached is the certificate of Elisenda Barbié and the study of Carles Mancho i Suárez, professor of ancient art at the University of Barcelona. Height: 22 cm Total measurement: 26 x 22 x 22 cm
