This stone relief represents Hathor, one of the most revered goddesses of ancient Egypt. With her serene face framed by a headdress decorated with rosettes, the piece echoes the Hathor-headed capitals that once adorned great temples such as Dendera, symbolizing divine protection and abundance.
Historical Background
Hathor was worshipped for more than two thousand years as the goddess of love, music, joy, motherhood, and protection. She was considered the “Mother of the Gods” and a patron of kings, often depicted with her distinctive broad face and cow-like ears.
Architectural reliefs of Hathor crowned temple columns, marking the sacred space as under her care. The Temple of Hathor at Dendera, one of the best-preserved in Egypt, still features rows of majestic Hathor-headed capitals that inspired works like this replica.
