Head of Isis-Fortuna by Chapps.SL

Head of Isis-Fortuna

This head of a goddess combines features from Roman and Egyptian art. The figure's softly waved hairstyle and upturned eyes are commonly seen in Roman artworks from the 2nd century CE. The headdress, which features two large ostrich feathers with a sun disc between them, recalls the crowns depicted in ancient representations of Egyptian deities.

The figure represents a hybrid of the preeminent Egyptian goddess, Isis, and the Roman goddess Fortuna. Both were associated with fertility and good fortune, often leading artists to combine their attributes and identities in the manner seen here.

Egyptian, Ptolemaic or Roman, 1st century BCE-1st century CE. Marble.

14 x 8 7/16 x 5 1/2 in. (35.5 x 21.5 x 14 cm)
