Abstract

Abstract
Ancient Egyptian art boasts a wealth of artistic features that extended till the end of the Graeco-Roman period, The primary motivation behind these patterns was the belief in resurrection and eternal life, which lies at the heart of ancient Egyptian religion, This belief, centered around the main deity Osiris and the two goddesses Isis and Nephthys, inspired artists across the ages to represent it visually, including the depiction of the deity Osiris between the goddesses Isis and Nephthys for his protection and as a confirmation and commemoration of their important role in his resurrection, Symbolism is a key element of ancient Egyptian art, leading artists to use sacred symbols instead of directly depicting the gods. This approach resulted in a variety of artistic features in their representations. This observation intrigued the researchers: the way the deity Osiris, or the goddesses Isis and Nephthys, along with their sacred symbols, are depicted changes from one viewpoint to another.
