Egyptian
Sacred Triad Bonded Stone Wall Plaque
13 inches high (33 cm)
[The Louvre Museum, France. 18th Dynasty 1450 B.C.]
This sculpture was dedicated to the great
triad of Horus, Osiris and Isis, who appear in the upper panel, with Titiaa,
high priest of Amun, and his wife Aoui kneeling below to offer gifts of fruits
and flowers.
Osiris wears the Atef crown and carries the royal crook and flail, while his son
Horus is represented as a falcon-headed man. Isis has the cow's horns and the
sun disk that she adopted from Hathor in the New Kingdom.
Osiris was the God of the underworld and resuscitation, while his sister and
wife Isis was considered the symbolical mother of the Pharaoh. She was
worshipped as she who was "Great of Magic" and regarded as the
"Eye of Ra".
Their son Horus is traditionally considered the first Pharaoh of Egypt and the
spiritual king. The Pharoah was later his representative on Earth.
