Item Details

Description

Egypt, Romano-Egyptian, ca. 1st century BCE to 1st century CE A stunning cast bronze deity with attributes of 2 primary goddesses of the Hellenistic world, Isis and Fortuna - Greek Tyche. Standing contrapposto, her elegant body is dressed in a long flowing chiton and voluminous himation presenting abundant folds of drapery. Her right arm extends from her body to grip a lengthy rudder - a primary symbol of Fortuna's iconography and an instrument she used to direct lives. In her left arm, she holds a copious cornucopia or horn of plenty. Size (figure): 1.1" W x 2.3" H (2.8 cm x 5.8 cm); (case): 6.75" W x 8.75" H (17.1 cm x 22.2 cm)

Although Isis was an Egyptian deity, her popularity spread into the Mediterranean basin from the Ptolemaic period on, prior to becoming embraced by the Romans. In the Greco-Roman world, Isis embodied all things feminine, a beautiful blend of features belonging to Artemis, Aphrodite, and Demeter - a composite goddess who reigned over the sea and the world of the deceased and was also the protector of the city of Alexandria. Due to Isis' power over fate, she was linked with Fortuna (Greek Tyche), the classical goddess of good fortune. Throughout time, humanity has put forth immense efforts toward bringing about good fortune. History has provided many manifestations of this in the form of good luck charms. Even in the modern era, people carry rabbits' feet, blow on dice before tossing them, or wear a "lucky" color shirt to a job interview. The classical era was no different, and the goddess Fortuna/Tyche stood as a symbol of luck and chance for many ancient Greeks and Romans. Initially, she was viewed as a protector of ancient cities and civilizations; however, later Fortuna/Tyche evolved to become a guiding light, a symbol of Lady Luck, for individuals.
