THE VEIL OF ISIS
The veil of Isis is a metaphor and allegorical artistic motif representing the inaccessibility of nature's secrets, personified as the goddess Isis shrouded by a veil or mantle.
The motif traces back to a statue in the ancient Egyptian city of Sais. As recounted by Greco-Roman authors, the statue of the veiled goddess bore the inscription: "I am all that has been and is and shall be; and no mortal has ever lifted my mantle."
