AN EGYPTIAN BRONZE WINGED ISIS

The goddess stands with her arms endowed with bird's wings, which she raises to protect another figure that would have been seated or stood directly in front of her. For a similar figure of Isis protecting her husband Osiris, cf. M. Jorgensen, Catalogue Egypt IV Egyptian Bronzes, Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, 2009, p. 172, no. 58, and for an elaborate tableaux, put together in the early 20th Century but consisting of ancient figures, see pp. 200-201, no. 67.
