Detailed Description:

Head and Hairstyle:
The figure wears an elaborate headdress, possibly a tripartite wig with details painted in yellow and red. The hairstyle is decorated with stripes, typical of representations of deities and elites.

Face:
The face is finely sculpted with delicate features, the eyes being particularly expressive with black outlines and well-defined pupils.

Body:
The statuette presents Isis in a slender posture, wearing a long, fitted dress, painted red and decorated with yellow geometric patterns. A belt is carved and painted around the waist. Wings: The goddess's outstretched wings are finely carved and painted, indicating her protective role. They are detailed with stylized feathers painted in yellow and red, adding to the visual effect of the piece.

Arms and Hands:
The arms are extended to each side of the body, with the hands open in a sign of blessing and protection. The fingers are precisely detailed.

Feet: The feet, slightly separated, allow the statuette to stand upright. They are sculpted with careful anatomical detail, including the toes. The paint is well preserved despite some areas of wear, mainly on the ends of the wings and feet.

The wood shows some minor cracks, mainly superficial, with no apparent major alteration. No significant restoration is visible.
