Attic Grave Reliefs That Represent Women in the Dress of Isis

The author investigates the appearance of a fashion in clothing, involving a knotted mantle worn across the chest, on many Attic stelae of the Roman period. She suggests that this style can be traced to Egyptian roots, and might have particularly been associated with a cult of Isis, popular among wealthy Athenians. The book presents a catalogue of the 106 known "Isis" reliefs from Attica and a review of all forms of evidence for the cult.Walters, Elizabeth J. is the author of 'Attic Grave Reliefs That Represent Women in the Dress of Isis' with ISBN 9780876615225 and ISBN 0876615221.
