Object Description
A fine Roman, bronze head of the goddess Isis-Fortuna. Modelled in the round, she has been rendered naturalistically, depicted with a calm expression on her face. Her large, almond shaped eyes, gently curving brows, straight nose, and lips are still clearly visible. Her hair has been swept back into a chignon at the back of her head, with her hair parted down the centre. Further wavy lines to the back of her head represent her hair. Atop her head, she wears her characteristic headdress of a plumed sun disc between cow horns of Hathor, with ears of corns flanking the headdress at either side.
The head has been mounted on a custom made stand. Please note that the measurements below include the stand. The head alone measures 1.6cm in length, 1.3cm in width, and 3.2cm in height.
Date: Circa 1st Century BC – 1st Century AD
