Isis – Egyptian goddess of healing
Ancient Egypt
Ancient Egypt was a civilization that thrived in the lower Nile Valley for over 3,000 years, from around 3100 BC to 30 BC.
At the core of ancient Egyptian culture was a belief in a vast pantheon of gods and goddesses, who were worshipped through various rituals and ceremonies.
The ancient Egyptians also believed in the afterlife, and developed elaborate burial practices to ensure the safe passage of the deceased into the next world.
This statue is intended to be brass at 180cm tall and made of composite, marble or brass material in order to withstand the harsh Australian elements and strong winds. The sponsorship fees will cover:
