Summary

Description

The figure places her weight on her left and moves her left slightly back and to the side. In her right hand she holds a small jug by her side (this object is the product of a restoration) and in her left a sistrum (a musical instrument).

Originally an Egyptian goddess, the worship of Isis spread to the Greco-Roman world in the 4th century B.C. after the conquest of Alexander the Great over Egypt.

Here the goddess is shown in a long chiton, a typical style of Greek dress. She also wears a mantle that ties over her breasts. A piece of the mantle is used as a veil to cover her head, which is also adorned with a sun disk.

The work dates to the first century A.D. From Villa Adriana. capitolini.info/scu00744/
