Depicts a statuette of Isis holding her son, infant god Horus also known as Harpokrates, in her laps and offering her left breast to nurse him. Isis wears a tight-fitting sheath dress reaching to her ankles, as well as a striped, tripartite wig, above the vulture-shaped crown.

She is nearly always depicted in anthropomorphic form, standing or seated on a throne. This statuette shows the goddess in her most beloved pose, nursing her son Horus (known also as the lactans pose). A large number of Isis statuettes in this particular pose demonstrate some of the qualities for which Isis was most valued in the first millennium BC: her role as a life-giver and protector. These types of statuettes were very common, dedicated not just to Isis cults, but seemingly to many temples and shrines, usually in association with Osiris and the child god Horus.

Furthermore, this depiction inspired Christianity for their Holy Mary, the mother of Jesus.

In Ancient Egypt, the vulture hieroglyph was the uniliteral sign used for the glottal sound (/ɑː/). The bird was held sacred to Isis in ancient Egyptian religion. The use of the vulture as a symbol of royalty in Egyptian culture and their protection by Pharaonic law made the species common on the streets of Egypt and gave rise to the name "pharaoh's chicken".
