Isis-Aphrodite Clasping a Garment Rolled About Her Hips , Roman Period (1st-2nd century A.D.)
61 x 19.7 x 11 in (h x w x d)
Bronze

Original size: H. 10 ¼ in.

It has been suggested that this statuette represents the Empress Faustina Minor, wife of Marcus Aurelius (AD 161-180) in the role of Isis/Aphrodite, thus attributing to Faustina a role as guarantor of the grain shipments from Egypt to Rome at a time of revolt in part of the Empire. Depicts the blending of cultures of Rome and Egypt as well as Roman taking over Egyptian culture by only leaving the headdress of Isis while the rest of the sculpture is of Aphrodite.
