Statue of the Goddess Isis
This statue was found in the tomb of the Chief of Scribes, Overseer of the Seal, and Governor of the Palace, Psamtik, at Saqqara. It represents Isis, the mother of Horus, in the form of a beautiful woman.
She is seated, wearing a long tight dress, her left hand is placed on her knee, while her right hand holds the ankh-symbol of life. Isis is often associated with Hathor, and here is presented wearing the latter goddess’ crown, the cow’s horns surmounted by a sun-disc. The base of the statue bears an inscription dedicating the statue to Isis from Psamtik.
Late Period, 26th Dynasty, ca. 664-525 BC. From tomb of Psamtik, Saqqara. Now in the Egyptian Museum, Cairo. JE 38929

I’m so glad that it remained in Egypt, and isn’t being showcased in some European country
