Opening Bid: £900
Depicted as a woman's head with cow ears, her eyebrows and cosmetic lines carefully defined, with her eyes retaining traces of inlay. 0.96 grams, 28 mm
From the collection of a UK gentleman, London, UK, by descent from his family collection 1970s.
This particular appearance of Hathor, with a human head and cow ears, often appears on columns, particularly in temples associated with goddesses or mammisi-temples ("birth houses"), which were devoted to the birth of a goddess's divine son. The form also appears in the decoration of sistra used in Hathoric and birth-related rituals. Therefore, this diminutive gold image embodies Hathor's symbolic protective potency in all matters maternal.
