| Festival oinochoe showing Arsinoe II Faience, Votive Found at Canosa di Publia (Bari, Italy) 270-240 B.C.

On the forehead of Silenus are remains of gilding. On the shoulder is incised an inscription (before glazing), wishing great fortune on the queen. | |
| Arsinoe II (?) Image of a Ptolemaic Queen Faience Excavated at Naukratis 3rd cent. B.C. Hellenistic The facial features are closely parallelled with portraits on faience oinochoai and coins showing Arsinoe II. The head cannot have come from a full-length statuette of the queen, since the bottom of the neck is finished off smoothly, though it could have been combined with other elements either made from faience, or combined with another material. The original context for such a figure is uncertain, but the high quality of this piece suggests that it was a fairly important dedication, perhaps for the cult of Arsinoe II. | |

| Serapeum (sanctuary of Serapis), limestone, marble, mud brick, votive, Alexandria, built by Ptolemy III Euergetes, Hellenistic, 246-222 B.C. Serapeum built by Ptolemy III Euergetes (reigned 246–222 BC) and dedicated to Serapis, who was made the protector of Alexandria. For the Greeks, the creation of a new god was something extraordinary, but for the Egyptians the modification of religious concepts to fit new needs was a long-standing tradition. The priests chose the Egyptian god Osiris-Apis, who was a protective deity. They modified his name to Sarapis, and gave his visual representation a Hellenistic form, appropriating the shoulder-length hair and full beard of the Greek supreme deity Zeus; the "kalathos"--a woven grain basket--with which Sarapis is often crowned, symbolizes fertility. The participation of Egypt's Greek population in rituals for Sarapis and the Hellenized Isis was an expression of their loyalty to the dynasty | |
| Bust of Serapis Marble Votive Found in Serapeion of Alexandria Roman copy after a Greek original from the 4th century BC Ptolemy I is often credited having created the official cult of Sarapis and endorsed the god as a patron of the Ptolemaic dynasty and Alexandria. Nonetheless, Serapis was in fact a syncretistic deity derived from the worship of the Egyptian gods Osiris and Apis. He also gained attributes from other deities, including chthonic powers linked to the Greek Hades and Demeter, and benevolence linked to Dionysus. | |

| Arsinoe II as Isis Pithom Stele Stone Votive Pithom, Egypt Ca 270 – 230 B.C. Hellenistic/Ptolemaic It seems to have been the Ptolemaic queens—who were often identified with Isis and Hathor/Aphrodite specifically— who turned the royal knotted outfit into an attribute of Isis specifically. The earliest example showing the isis knot on a queen’s costume is that of Arsinoe II (born 316 BC) on a monument known as the Pithom stele. At the time of its creation, Arsinoe was already deceased. She is shown on the stele wearing the knotted costume and Goddess headdress and is called in an inscription: “the image of Isis and Hathor.” | |

| Cleopatra? Slightly Overlifesize Female figure in Isis dress Stone Statue Votive Found in Canopus, Alexandria Hellenistic/Ptolemaic third century B.C. The figure wears a dress typical of Ptolemaic queens. Given the association of those women with Isis, the knot in the fabric is often called an Isis knot. For the Ptolemies, the relationship between Isis and her husband-brother, Osiris, was a model for royal marriages. Her cult endured for 500 years after the death of Cleopatra, one of her devoted followers. | |
| Isis, Marble, Votive, from the Alexandrian suburb of Ras el Soda, Roman Period 2nd Century AD This stature shows most of the attributes of Isis: the Isis crown, Isis knot, and situla – ritual bowl for sprinkling water held in her left. Perhaps a sistrum was in her right hand – for making ritual music. As Hellenistic culture was absorbed by Rome in the first century BC, the cult of Isis became part of Roman religion. Her devotees were a small proportion of the Roman Empire's population but were found all across its territory. | |
