Ancient Egyptian. Ring Depicting Isis and Horus. 305 BC–30 BC. Egypt. Gold One side of this ring bears the title of a priest of Thoeris named Horemakhbit. The other side, shows Isis wearing her tall horned headdress and seated on a throne nursing Horus, surrounded by flowers that represent the papyrus marsh in which she sheltered her son. The name Horemakhbit means “Horus in the Marsh”; therefore the image of Isis and Horus is a visual pun of the priest’s name.
