Isis , Egyptian Goddess in Black Pewter Glaze Sculpture - Limited Edition of 250

These carved in the round Goddess Isis statues are made of glazed slip cast clay. Each Isis is unique, requiring multiple days of finish carving. The black gray glaze recalls the appearance of antique pewter or iron and is more matte in person under normal lighting. My design is inspired by many ancient statues and paintings wherein Isis is depicted with the throne of Egypt as Her crown and the knot of Isis holding Her hair. As such She embodies the divine, natural and societal laws in harmony. Revered as a leader, wise magician and the giver of life, Isis embodies our access to the divine wisdom of compassion and our personal empowerment. A symbol of healthy sexuality and creativity, Isis is renown as the ultimate healer. After her beloved Osiris was murdered and dismembered by his brother and the lord of chaos, Set, it was Isis that travelled throughout the land finding all his aspects and scattered parts. It was Isis who restored his life and in a sense ensured the cycle of the seasons and that element of rebirth that Osiris represents within all of us and all living beings. Isis is the archetypal embodiment of the power of love. Spreading far beyond the time of Egyptian Priestesses and Pharohic dynasties, Isis came to be seen as many forms of the divine feminine and the all encompassing Great Goddess. I grew up in Brooklyn, NY where I was profoundly affected as a child by the astounding Egyptian sacred art collections in the Met and BAM. Recreating the Egyptian pantheon through sacred art for you is an unexpected and mysterious honor. I engage the process with a great respect, loving appreciation and a sense of wonder. It is my sense that these elemental deities are still very much alive in our world and accessible to all regardless of each of our religious affiliations or spiritual beliefs. If I have sold out of my current inventory, it may take as much as a month to hand make your individual Isis sculpture. Thank you so much for your interest in my work.
