Isis |
Isis
represents the power of love to overcome death. She brought her husband
and brother, Osiris, back to life and
saved her son Horus from certain death.
She is portrayed wearing the hieroglyph
for "throne" on her head; from
the New Kingdom onward, she sometimes
wore a solar disc between cow horns. She is also often depicted
mourning
the death of her husband and nursing their son.
