Goddess Isis

myminifactory

Ancient Egyptian bronze sculpture of the goddess Isis, 1st century CE, proudly displayed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art's impressive collection today. Considered to be one of the last remaining pieces from ancient Egypt in Mia’s extensive collection, this exquisite bronze statuette of the powerful goddess Isis dates back an astonishing 2,000 years ago during the time of Roman and Greek rule of Egypt. Isis is depicted in elegant Greco-Roman attire: flowing robes and stylish sandals. Her confident stance, mid-stride with an outstretched hand, stands out strikingly from the more rigid representations of her in traditional ancient Egyptian sculpture.
