Color:

The black marble body was completed by a head, arms and legs made of white marble. Black stone was deliberately chosen for statues of Isis Melanephoros (black-robed Isis) and her priestesses. The subject of Isis became popular in Greek sculpture when Egypt became a Roman province in the 1st century B.C. From there on, mystery cults mixing Grec-Roman and Egyptian mythology spread across the Roman Empire. Isis was particulary celebrated, and her figure was often associated with Aphordite. That is why statues of Isis may be found in Greece and in Italy.
