Figure of Isis suckling Harpocrates. Ancient Egypt, Lower Epoch, 664-323 BC. Bronze. Attached invoice of purchase from the Galerie Günter Puhze in Freiburg, Germany. Measurements: 13 cm high. Isis is part of the Osirian triad with her husband Osiris and her son Horus, called great magician, great mother goddess and queen of the gods, considered fertilizing force of nature and goddess of motherhood and birth. Her main iconographic symbol is the throne, although she can also be represented with a headdress with the solar disk, for being the daughter of Ra, and with dove wings. She can also take the form of a tree, as a nourishing goddess. From the beginning of the XVIII dynasty she will also be represented with the horns and the moon of Hathor, the Ankh and other symbols. A widespread iconography of Isis presents her with Harpocrates, infant form of Horus, on her lap. Harpocrates symbolizes the weak sun of dawn or the winter sun, naked and unprotected. Just as this sun is transformed into a powerful star, the weak child will become the adult Horus, armed and warrior, who will avenge the death of his father, Osiris. Attached is a purchase invoice from Galerie Günter Puhze in Freiburg, Germany.
