: A figure of Isis as a woman, seated with her feet on a base, holding a child (Horus) on her lap. Horus is naked and wears a ureaus (cobra) and the sidelock of youth. Isis wears a long dress and holds her breast to suckle Horus. She has a long wig and a horned sun disc with uraeus. There is a tang beneath her feet and there are remains of gold leaf which would have covered the statue.
