Isis lactans
Description
Assise sur un trône, la déesse Isis porte l'enfant Horus sur ses genoux. La tête de l'enfant est aujourd'hui cassée. Coiffée d'une longue perruque tripartite, Isis porte une couronne qui a fait l'objet d'une restauration. Cette couronne est fixée sur un modius. Sur le devant du modius, l'uroeus est encore présent. A l'arrière de cette couronne, on remarque un trou de fixation ébréché. Les jambes de la déesse sont bien dégagées du trône. Ses pieds reposent sur un socle. A l'arrière des cornes de la couronne, sur son côté gauche, on remarque de légers restes de la glaçure verte. On aperçoit aussi quelques traces de peinture noire à l'arrière de la perruque
