Fragment of a bowl
Roman Period
Not on view
The interior of this elaborate bowl is carved with the figure of a woman, perhaps the goddess Isis, supporting a smaller standing figure, possibly her son Horus, who is represented naked with his finger to his mouth in a pose traditionally associated with childhood. On the center of the exterior is a rosette surrounded by laurel wreath, grape vine, and loop borders. Small dishes of this type were particularly popular in Upper Egypt during the Roman period.
