Egyptian Goddess-Isis Cloisonné Pendant

A cloisonné enamel pendant set in Sterling Silver.

A very important figure in the ancient world, Goddess-Isis was the wife of Osiris and mother of Horus. She was associated with funeral rites and said to have made the first mummy from the dismembered parts of Osiris. As the enchantress who resurrected Osiris and gave birth to Horus, she was also the giver of life, a healer and protector of kings.

Goddess-Isis is represented with a throne on her head and sometimes shown breastfeeding the infant Horus. In this manifestation she was known as “Mother of God.” To the Egyptians she represented the ideal wife and mother; loving, devoted, and caring.

Cloisonné is a style of enameling whereby little cells are created with wire and then filled with enamel, silver and gold fused in a kiln.  You can read more about the entire process here.
