atop of isis head was a lunar orb with bull horns around it or just a small throne on her head
A throne is the symbol of Isis because she wore it as her headdress and as a crown to.
Many ancient Egyptian gods were identified by a symbol either carried on the head or in the hand, or by some specific manifestation or appearance. In the case of the goddess Astor 3s.t, commonly known today as Isis (the Greek version of her name), her name was written with hieroglyphs that include the side view of a throne; her name probably means "She of the Throne".So she did not "have a throne on her head" - she had the hieroglyph depicting a throne on her head, just as Nephthys had the hieroglyphs of her name on her head, Ma'at had a feather, Serket had a scorpion hieroglyph and so on.

Isis is an Egyptian myth. It is about Isis and Osiris. Isis means fertility. Osiris and Isis were husband and wife. They had a child named Horus.
Isis was pictured as a woman wearing a long sheath dress. She was also shown wearing either a throne perched on the top of her head or cow horns with a sun disk. SOmetimes, she would be drawn with wings on her arms.
Isis was worshiped by many different cultures. It was due primarily to the vast influence of ancient Egypt/Nubia. The original Romans, the Etruscans(the founders of Rome and Paris), were worshipers of Isis. She was referred to as Par Isis, which the Etruscans combined to form the name of the Roman city Paris. An area of the vatican was built over a temple deticated to Isis. The Egyptians used to believe in her. They may still. She was the wife and sister of Osiris, mother of Horus and is worshiped as the typical wife and mother. Her name means "Throne" and the emblem worn on her head is actually a throne. She represented worshiped queen.
In Egyptian myth, Set did not kill his sister Isis, he killed Osiris her husband and brother in a attempt to become the ruler of Egypt. Isis revived Osiris and had Horus who was Set's rival for the throne.
