Triad of Osiris, Isis, and Horus, Late Period–Ptolemaic Period, 664–30 B.C., From Egypt, Cupreous metal, H. 12.4 cm (4 7/8 in.); W. 10.2 cm (4 in.); D. 4.8 cm (1 7/8 in.), The immensely popular gods Osiris, Isis and Harpokrates are here represented as a triad standing in a row on a single base. Several loops study the group - one projecting from the side of the base at right angles, and others behind Harpokrates and Osiris: whether they are intended to allow for fixation in multiple contexts, or a rather a more symbolic addition, is a question
