EGYPTIAN BRONZE ISIS-HATHOR WITH
EGYPTIAN BRONZE ISIS-HATHOR WITH HARPOKRATES**Originally Listed At $3000**
Egypt, Late Dynastic to Ptolemaic Period, ca. 664 to 30 BCE. A beautiful leaded bronze sculpture of the goddess Isis-Hathor seated with her right hand held to her bare breast ready to suckle Harpokrates - the child form of Horus - seated in her lap, whom she supports with her right hand in a maternal manner. She wears an ankle-length sheath over her lower body that accentuates the contours of her form, her traditional vulture headdress with a projecting uraeus and a horned crown with a central sun disk she adopted from the goddess Hathor. Sitting across her lap, Horus is shown nude save for his uraeus crown and his incredibly long side lock of youth, indicating his divine and royal status. All is rendered in impressively preserved detail with incised lines delineating Isis's hair and facial features. As a cult figure from this time period, Isis is often shown as a mother goddess as we see here. A touching portrayal of a tender moment between mother and son. Size: 1.7" W x 5.5" H (4.3 cm x 14 cm); 6.3" H (16 cm) on included custom stand.
During the Ptolemaic period, Isis/Hathor, Serapis, and Horus/Harpocrates formed the Triad of Alexandria, a cult for worshipping the three deities that combined Greek and Roman gods with Egyptian ones. Ptolemy introduced this worship as a way to unify the cultures under his rule. Isis/Hathor was associated with childbirth and fertility and Horus/Harpocrates was the god of silence, secrets, and confidentiality.

ANCIENT EGYPTIAN FIGURE OF OSIRIS
ANCIENT EGYPTIAN FIGURE OF OSIRIS
EGYPT, LATE PERIOD, 664 - 332 B.C. bronze, gold and lapis lazuli, standing deity in typical mummiform pose, holding a crook and flail in his crossed hands, wearing the atefcrown with frontal uraeus and incised plaited false beard, the face with inlaid quartz eyes and lapis brows, raised on a bespoke mount20.2cm tallPrivate family collection, Switzerland, since at least 1940, the piece is accompanied by a supporting letter confirming the provenance.Note:Osiris is most often represented as a shrouded mummy, emphasizing his connection with the dead. He holds a flail and a short shepherd’s crook, insignia associated with Egyptian kingship, and wears a long, braided beard, emblematic of divinity. On the front of his tall crown is a uraeus, a cobra ready to spit fire at his enemies. The horns may link him with the sun god, who often appears as a ram-headed man at the end of the day and during the night.By the first millennium B.C., statues and statuettes of Osiris were offered in profusion, reflecting both the importance of the god and a shift in how the ancient Egyptians performed certain rituals. Some of the places where statues of Osiris have been found can be identified as temples and shrines belonging to him, but they have also been found as offerings in contexts where explanations are not evident.

EGYPTIAN BRONZE NUDE HARPOKRATES
EGYPTIAN BRONZE NUDE HARPOKRATES AMUN W/ GILT EYESAncient Egypt, Late Dynastic to Ptolemaic period, ca. 664 to 30 BCE. A rare and remarkably preserved bronze figure of Harpokrates Amun presenting as the nude child god Horus in a seated position and surmounted by a towering, double feather crown and sun disk associated with the god Amun, and gilt eyes. Harpokrates is depicted traditionally with his finger raised to his mouth - a physical manifestation of the Egyptian hieroglyph for child - and a long, separately-cast sidelock hanging down the right side of his head. A necklace with a teardrop-shaped amulet falls down his chest. Size: 1.8" W x 8.1" H (4.6 cm x 20.6 cm); 8.8" H (22.4 cm) on included custom stand.
Amun (also spelled Amon, Ammon, and Amen) - the Egyptian god of sun and air - was one of the most significant deities of ancient Egypt who became prominent in Thebes at the dawn of the New Kingdom. His name literally means "the hidden one", "invisible", or "mysterious in form", and quite interestingly, as opposed to other Egyptian deities, Amun was regarded as Lord of All representing every aspect of creation.
Harpokrates (also Harpocrates) was, in many ways, one of the most popular deities in the Egyptian pantheon for centuries on end. The offspring of Osiris and Isis, Harpokrates was originally thought to be a protective deity, warding dangerous magic and creatures away from the wielder of his effigy. His depiction as a child was a common sight in ancient Egypt as infantile gods were favored to their adult characterizations from roughly the Third Intermediate Period on into Greco-Roman times. Created mostly as temple votives, child gods were thought to have a higher concentration of power and influence, thus making for a stronger prayer request when left as an offering.

ROMAN MARBLE HEAD OF A GODDESS,
ROMAN MARBLE HEAD OF A GODDESS, POSSIBLY JUNORoman, late Republic to early Imperial period, Eastern Mediterranean, ca. 1st century BCE to 1st century CE. A paragon of the Classical ideal; a gorgeous white marble head of a female deity, possibly Juno (Greek Hera), the protector and special counsellor of the state as well as queen of the gods and wife of Jupiter. Gazing forth from almond-shaped eyes beneath generous lids, her idealized visage is comprised of gently arched brows, a naturalistic nose, and fleshy lips held slightly parted, all beneath a luscious coiffure of cascading locks that drape the nape of her gracefully long neck. A cylindrical diadem, perhaps a stephane, of petite triangles in relief crowns her lush tresses, suggesting her status as queen of the gods and identity as Juno. Size: 2.5" W x 3.5" H (6.4 cm x 8.9 cm); 7.3" H (18.5 cm) on included custom stand.
In Roman mythology, the ancient Roman goddess Juno, the queen of the gods, protector and special counselor to the state, and goddess of the sky and the stars, was said to have created the peacock from Argus whose hundred eyes seen on the tailfeathers of the peacock symbolize the vault of heaven and the "eyes" of the stars.
