Statue of the goddess Isis
Statue of the goddess Isis
The marble statue of the goddess Isis in life size, unfortunately with the head and arms missing, originates from Nin, the Roman Aenona. The typical dress consists of the Ionic chiton above which a robe is thrown over; there is a typical knot tied between the breasts as well as the characteristic lock of hair that falls down the shoulders onto the breast. All these details indubitably prove that this is the representation of Isis, the deity of Egyptian origin, popular all across the Roman Empire.
