Description:

Fresco on a red background depicting a Priest of Isis who bears two candlesticks to a statue of Harpocrates standing outside of the temple of Isis. The fresco was found in 1765 in the alcove in front of the Temple of Isis (VIII.7.28) in Pompeii. The fresco, which was cleaned in the 1990s, now is one of the most important representations of the temple before destruction. In front of the statue is placed an olive branch. Advancing at right the priest, dressed in the typical apron, leaving the shoulders bare, carries two silver candlesticks, topped with cup-shaped bronze reminiscent of those found in the temple (inv. 72192-72193). The cult of Isis was part of the syncretic tendencies of religion in the Greco-Roman world of late antiquity; the Romans having acquired it from the Hellenistic Ptolemaic dynasty in Egypt.
