Amulet of Isis, Horus, and Nephthys

Late Period to Ptolemaic Period, ca. 664-30 BC.
Made of Egyptian faience.
Metropolitan Museum of Art. 26.7.890

According to the myth the sister goddesses Isis and Nepthys cared for the body of Osiris and later they protected his son Horus as a young child. The three deities depicted in this triad amulet are some of the main protagonists in the Osiride myth that tells the murder and revival of the god Osiris and the birth and triumphal avenge of his son Horus.

This amulet of Isis, Horus, and Nephthys is probably supposed to guarantee the same kind of protection and help of the sister goddesses for the reborn deceased that they provided for both Osiris and the young Horus.
