| Description | Ae Ancient Egyptian figurine, very corroded seated figure of Isis, goddess of the moon and of fertility, suckling the infant Horus. Right arm and lower left arm and legs of Isis are missing and the head and feet of Horus are missing (PAS). It is unclear whether this is actually a Romano-British figure or an Egyptian import. With no image one cannot be sure. |
