Isis Nursing Horus Bronze height, 0.31 meter Provenance uncertain, possibly Saqqara (in Lower Egypt) Late Period, circa 575 BC # E-14293 Seth flew into a rage when he learnt of the birth of Horus, so Isis fled with the baby into the marshes of the Nile Delta. During this period divine powers were invoked by Isis to protect her son against venomous insects and prowling animals, so the image of this statuette was regarded as a powerful, protective one.
