MM 19965 Figurine of Isis-Sothis Rides Majestically on Her Faithful Hound. Crafted from pale brown clay with a delicate white slip, this exquisite sculpture showcases the goddess Isis in all her glory. With a determined gaze forward, she rides triumphantly on the back of a dog that appears to be a majestic Maltese breed. Isis's long garment flows elegantly behind her, while a sacred knot adorns her chest - a symbol of her powerful magic. Her left hand rests gently in her lap, while her right hand cradles a beautifully curved horn. Above her head, a stunning horned crown glimmers with a radiant sun disc at its center. The level of detail on Isis's face is truly remarkable, especially the piercing eyes that seem to sparkle with inner light. In stark contrast, the dog appears to be poised for a leap, its forelegs raised high in mid-air as it turns its head to the right - all while proudly sporting a delicate necklace around its neck. This captivating piece of artistry was crafted from clay and has been transformed into a masterpiece of Egyptian pottery. Hailing from the vibrant continent of Africa, this MM 19965 figurine is a testament to the ingenuity and creativity of ancient Egyptian artisans.
