Isis-Aphrodite Ancient Romano-Egyptian Goddess Hot Cast Bronze Statuette Aged with Amazing Green Patina Museum Reproduction SB0043
47,00 €
The statuette possesses stylistic traits belonging to both Roman and Egyptian cultures. It is a beautiful example of the cultural and aesthetic syncretism which was common in antiquity across the Mediterranean regions. It was perfectly accepted in the Ancient world that other deities could exist and that they had no less legitimacy than those in one’s territory. Roman, Greek and Egyptian deities were often likened to one another and often would share physical attributes when portrayed in art.

Isis-Aphrodite is a form of the great goddess Isis that emphasizes the fertility aspects associated with Aphrodite. She was concerned with marriage and childbirth and, following very ancient pharaonic prototypes, also with rebirth. Elaborate accessories, including an exaggerated calathos (the crown of Egyptian Greco-Roman divinities) emblazoned with a tiny disk and horns of Isis, heighten the effect of her nudity.
Figures depicting this goddess are found in both domestic and funerary contexts. Popular already in the 3rd to 2nd centuries B.C., they continued to be made in Roman times.
