EDITORS COMMENTS
In this ancient Egyptian image, the goddess Isis, one of the most revered deities in Egyptian religion, is depicted in the guise of Mersekhent or Mersekert, as she lovingly nurses and feeds her beloved son, Horus. The scene is a poignant representation of the deep maternal bond between the goddess and her offspring, as well as the nurturing and protective role she played in Egyptian mythology. Isis, the goddess of motherhood, magic, and fertility, was a central figure in the Egyptian pantheon, worshipped across Egypt and beyond. Her name itself means "throne" or "seat," reflecting her role as the divine queen and protector of the pharaoh. In this image, she is shown wearing the throne-like White Crown of Upper Egypt, symbolizing her royal status and sovereignty. Horus, the falcon-headed god, is the son of Isis and Osiris, and the god of the sky, the sun, and the protector of Egypt. He is often depicted as a falcon or a man with the head of a falcon, symbolizing his power, strength, and ability to protect and provide for his people. In this scene, he is depicted as a vulnerable infant, emphasizing the tender and nurturing side of his mother. The act of feeding Horus is a powerful symbol of the goddess's maternal love and care, as well as her role as the giver of life and sustenance. The image also highlights the importance of the mother-child bond in ancient Egyptian culture, which was deeply rooted in the belief that a strong family unit was essential for the well-being and prosperity of the community. This evocative photograph print, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the rich and complex world of ancient Egyptian religion and mythology, and serves as a reminder of the enduring power of the maternal bond and the importance of nurturing and protecting the young.
