This statuette portrays Isis combined with Fortuna. She wears the elaborate headdress of Isis, a lunar disk between horns or feathers, and the front of her long dress is tied in a knot on her chest, the so-called Isis knot. She also holds the usual attributes of Fortuna. The rudder in her right hand and the cornucopia in her left arm is a symbol of abundance and prosperity." Getty Museum.

Picture of Isis Fortuna with horn of plenty and sistrum and with a foot on a globe. To the right is Hesperos and left is Helios or Harpocrates - Helios. The painting of Isis-Fortuna (MN Inventory 8836) was found in 1847 [IMG]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/aa/d6/53/aad6539d6b84c2f8b3ce022864762433.jpg[/IMG] The goddess Fortuna, holding a cornucopia and rudder, looks down upon a naked man crouching between two bearded serpents; the words CACATOR CAVE MALV[m] ("Shitter, beware of evil!") are painted above the man. The museum tag identifies the goddess as Isis-Fortuna-Demeter and the man as Harpocrates, but most interpreters think that the man is defecating and the goddess and serpents are apotropaic symbols. Naples, National Archaeological Museum [IMG]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/6f/43/16/6f4316cca016970e67a14d79df718350.jpg[/IMG] Isis-Fortuna. This statuette of Isis displays her in a Hellenistic robe. She has a combination of cow horns, sun-disk, and ears of corn as a crown on her head, a cornucopia and a ship's rudder.The cornucopia connects her to the goddess Fortuna, and the ears of corn to Demeter. The rudder stresses the aspect of Isis as patron of navigation, called Isis Pelagia. 1st-2nd century (Roman) [/QB][/QUOTE]
