Golden Isis
This lovely gilded statue is reproduced from a royal mummy case, on which her form was painted in order to catch the departing soul in her wings and shepherd it to a new life.
Wings spread, on bended knee, the Great Goddess Isis was the original Divine Mother. Hieroglyphic hymns praised her as:
"she who made light with her feathers and wind with her wings."
