Description:
|
|
Created during the Hadrianic period (117-138 CE). The statue is shown holding a sistrum, an ancient musical instrument with rattles and metal discs strung on wire in a small frame with a handle. These are frequently shown in Egyptian art and were carried in processions by priests. Although an Egyptian deity, there was a strong Greco-Roman cult of Isis called the Mysteries of Isis, which centered on rites concerned with death, rebirth and the afterlife. There were Roman temples to Isis in nearly every province of the Roman Empire. Roman statues of Isis show her carrying the sistrum and a jug of water from the Nile.
