Acerca de la obra

Curationist LogoDescripción de objeto de Curationist
The composite goddess, Isis-Aphrodite is an aspect of Isis. Her image invokes fertility and protection, drawing on Isis' role as a mother goddess and Aphrodite's fecund qualities. This sculpture of Isis-Aphrodite wears the calathos crown common among Egyptian Greco-Roman deities. The calathos was a basket worn atop the heads of women. It symbolizes abundance and fertility, and was a common wedding gift and domestic object. Her curvy hips and dark pubic hair further connect her to previous Egyptian fertility figures.
