This sculpture shows Isis with her wings extended in a pose of protection. The name Isis means "Seat" or "Throne".
She was regarded as the symbolical mother of the King. In myth she sought her dead husband and brother, Osiris, conceived her son Horus by him, buried him and mourned him together with her sister Nephtys.
Isis was regarded as the “Eye of Ra” and was worshiped as the "Great of Magic" who had protected her son Horus from snakes, predators and other dangers; thus she would protect mortal children also.
In the New Kingdom Isis was closely connected with Hathor whose physical attributes, the cow's horns and sun-disk she adopted.
Made from crushed bonded marble and resin with as many intricate details replicating the original as humanly possible.

About Our Museum Replicas
HISTORY OF ART REPRODUCTIONS
The history of art reproductions takes us back to Imperial Rome where bronze and marble reproductions of Greek masterpieces served as decoration for lavish Roman villas and gardens.
The art of casting is thousands of years old: terracottas, bronzes and ancient glass were cast from molds.
Closer to our time in the mid-18th century coinciding with the search for new artistic styles which took inspiration from the roots of classic art (neoclassicism) and the discovery of Herculaneum in 1738 and Pompeii in 1748, archaeological reproductions reappeared all over Europe.
As a result of French expeditions to Egypt during the nineteenth century, a casting facility was set up next to the Louvre Museum where many important archaeological pieces from ancient Egypt were reproduced.
Following the example of the Louvre, other leading European museums began to reproduce some of the masterpieces in their collections thus initiating a trend that continues until today.
OUR WORK
For the making of art reproductions, our company has chosen masterpieces from the best museums all over the world–The Louvre, The British Museum, The National Museum of Athens, The Egyptian Museum at Cairo, The New York Metropolitan Museum of Art, etc.
Working to obtain very fine pieces, up to the last detail,we only use materials and techniques that can achieve the best quality in reproducing original works of art.
Our sculptures are cast in a variety of mediums –bonded stone, polyresins, bronze, etc.
The finish of each reproduction, always hand-made and showing craftsmanship and historical sense, is the work of an artisan.
It is the task of our company to present to the people of today the legacy of those ancient civilizations with all the beauty and mystery of our ancestors, again in front of our eyes and at the reach of our hands.

SCULPTING
Most of our items are original artworks created by our sculptors, carved out of clay, stone, or wood. Here, one of our sculptors carves our T-16 Degas Little Dancer using sculpting clay.
MOLD MAKING
Once the original is carved, a mold is made, usually out of silicon. Here a casting of the Egyptian Goddess Selket is taken from a silicon mold.
CASTING
Crushed stone in a liquid resin medium is poured into a silicon mold where it solidifies into a hard stone that reproduces all the detail and texture of the original.
COLOR DETAILING
All the finishes are done by hand. Many finishes include color detailing, a labor intensive process where colors are applied with small brushes by our skilled artisans.
