Small green bronze statuette of a draped female figure with a tall headdress, standing on a round base against a red.

Isis-Aphrodite clasping a garment rolled about her hips

A small bronze statuette shows a standing female figure with a tall, flame-like headdress, her hair set in a rounded knot. She clasps a garment bunched at her hips with both hands, and her weight rests on one leg. The surface has a dark green patina, and the figure stands on a stepped circular base.

Look closer: A tall, flame-like crown rises above the head, separate from the hair.
