This well preserved small bronze bust of the Egyptian goddess Isis dates to the Early Roman period. It was cast in the 'lost wax' technique. The goddess wears a sleeved chiton and a himation; one end of the latter is tied in the middle of her chest, forming an 'Isis knot'. A pair of bovine horns holding a winged heliacal disk between them - the symbol of the goddess Hathor - adorns the meticulous hairdo on her elegant head. This bust may have decorated a large vessel or box, as has been suggested for a similar bronze bust of Isis in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. However, the Agios Nikolaos bust has no holes or traces of glue to indicate such a use.
