Roman statue of the goddess Isis - a photo on Flickriver

Roman statue of the goddess Isis

            Restored bigio morato marble statue of the Egyptian goddess Isis (or her priestess), identifiable by the fringed shawl tied between her breasts. The head and arms (and feet?) are modern restorations; the sculpture would have held up a sistrum (Egyptian rattle) in her right hand, and a situla, small pail, in her left. 

Most of this marble is now believed to have been sourced from the Götepe quarries in present-day Turkey, about 40km south of Aphrodisias in ancient Caria. The same marble was used for the famous black centaurs found at Hadrian's Villa and now on display in the Capitoline Museums in Rome.

2nd century CE.
