Lovely ! Very true to the legend / myth, even though her crown was often the hieroglyph for " throne " ( Aset ) & her name. :)

& some renderings of Isis show her holding the child Horus on her knee in a fashion not unlike the Virgin Mary. Coincidence :? :)

I don't think it's a coincidence. Virgin Mary images are probably inspired by a lot of other holy images...

Like Guan Yin / Isis / Sita. I studied TONS of mythology & folklore. Most in my spare time.
