介绍（中）	伊希斯的名字在金字塔文本中的第五王朝首次得到证实。她是奥西里斯的妻子和荷鲁斯的母亲，因此象征性地是法老的母亲。到了后期，这位重要女神的知名度急剧上升。她几乎总是以拟人化的形式被描绘成，站在或坐在宝座上。这个小雕像展示了女神以她最心爱的姿势，护理她的儿子荷鲁斯（也称为内酯姿势）。其他女神有时会照顾荷鲁斯或其他儿童神，但伊希斯在这个角色中表现突出。她戴着晚期她从哈索尔女神那里收养的角冠，上臂上戴着臂章。荷鲁斯胸前的淡淡斑纹表明他戴着护身符，这是儿童神的常见特征。这种特殊姿势的大量小雕像展示了伊希斯在公元前一千年最受重视的一些品质：她作为生命给予者和保护者的角色。这些类型的小雕像非常普遍，不仅献给伊希斯邪教，而且似乎献给许多寺庙和神社，通常与奥西里斯和儿童神荷鲁斯有关。
介绍（英）	Isis’ name is first attested in the fifth dynasty in the Pyramid texts. She was the wife of Osiris and the mother of Horus, and thus was symbolically mother to the pharaoh. In the Late Period, the popularity of this important goddess dramatically increased. She is nearly always depicted in anthropomorphic form, standing or seated on a throne. This statuette shows the goddess in her most beloved pose, nursing her son Horus (known also as the lactans pose). Other goddesses sometimes nurse Horus or other child gods, but Isis is preeminent among them in this role. She wears the horned crown that by the Late Period she had adopted from the goddess Hathor, and armlets on her upper arms. Faint markings on Horus’s chest suggest that he wore an amulet, a common feature for child gods. The abundance of statuettes in this particular pose demonstrate some of the qualities for which Isis was most valued in the first millennium BC: her role as a life-giver and protector. These types of statuettes were very common, dedicated not just to Isis cults, but seemingly to many temples and shrines, usually in association with Osiris and the child god Horus.
